Elowen Templeton: Templeton, E: Deception Sequel (Mystery), Flexibler Einband

Klappentext

Deception Sequel is a labyrinthine mystery that picks up where secrets were left to fester and betrayal lurked in the shadows. When investigative journalist Claire Morgan exposes a high-profile embezzlement ring in her city, she believes her battle for justice has come to an end. But as her story goes to print, Claire receives a cryptic package-a black envelope containing a single word: Sequel. Her triumph unravels as new crimes emerge, mimicking the original case but with a darker, more personal twist. The clues are intricately tied to Claire's past, pointing to someone who knows her secrets as well as she knows the city's. Every lead she follows leads to dead ends, and every ally she turns to seems to have something to hide. As she digs deeper, Claire uncovers a series of encrypted messages and hidden connections suggesting a larger conspiracy orchestrated by someone obsessed with her downfall. With her credibility on the line and the lives of those closest to her at stake, Claire must navigate a treacherous web of lies, where every truth uncovered threatens to pull her deeper into danger. When the mastermind behind the chaos begins targeting her personally, Claire is forced to question everything she thought she knew about the original case, her own allies, and even herself. With time running out, Claire must unmask the architect of the "sequel" before the deception becomes her undoing. But as she closes in on the truth, she faces the ultimate twist: sometimes, the most dangerous deceptions are the ones we create to protect ourselves.
