Eye Witness

“Some truths were never meant to be buried.”

It started with a scream in the dark—short, sharp, and silenced too soon.

Chicago awoke to scandal. Stacy Johnson, 29, found dead in a downtown high-rise office. Throat slit. No signs of forced entry. No struggle. Just a single red hair clip left behind, soaked in blood.

The twist? She was found in the private office of Alan Travis—investment banker, local celebrity, husband to socialite Sarah Travis… and Stacy’s secret lover.

The media exploded. The internet swarmed. On one side: justice for a murdered Black woman. On the other: the powerful white man who claimed he was innocent. Lines were drawn fast—across race, class, and privilege.

When seasoned homicide detective Sophia Blake is assigned to the case, it seems straightforward. A crime of passion. An open-and-shut betrayal. But the deeper Sophia digs, the more she realizes—this case is anything but simple.

Every suspect is hiding something. Every alibi cracks under pressure. And the truth? It’s buried under layers of deceit, lust, and manipulation.

As the body count rises and the city holds its breath, Sophia must race against time to unravel a twisted conspiracy where justice is currency, and everyone has something to lose.

Because in Chicago’s elite circles…
Love is lethal.
Loyalty is for sale.
And no one is truly innocent.
