Secondhand: Bood 2 of the Witness Mysteries
The story everyone knew was the one nobody checked.
Everyone knew what kind of woman Molly Bennet was.
They knew it from the videos — the glossy pregnancy channel, the perfect bump, the smile angled at the ring light. They knew it from the trial, the thumbnails, the comment threads that had already decided what happens to a mother who loses a child. By the time the cameras were finished, Molly wasn't a person. She was a verdict.
Cooper was four when he vanished. He is thirty now, and everything he knows about his mother he learned secondhand — from strangers, from a reporter who wrote his life the way it read best, from a world that needed Molly guilty more than it needed her true.
When investigator Anna Voss agrees to look again, she isn't hunting a killer. She's hunting a single line, buried in a record no one thought to question — the place where somebody signed their name to a story that was never theirs to tell.
The truth had been in the house the whole time.
So had the lie.
