Description
The Cypress Point Secret Dr. Alistair Vance is a titan of cardiovascular surgery, a man whose cold precision saves lives. But when his eighteen-year-old daughter, Elara, is found stabbed to death in her bedroom, he becomes the prime suspect. The door was broken down by Alistair himself, the weapon belongs to his kitchen, and his own wife, Clara, suspects his volatile temper finally erupted. All the evidence points irrefutably to the father. Yet, there is one flaw in the perfect crime. When Chief Inspector Vikram Sinha of the CIB takes the case, he sees a geometric impossibility: the angle of the wound, the blood spatter, and the crucial fact that the room was locked from the inside all contradict the physical force of the accused father. Sinha concludes that Alistair Vance is not a killer, but the perfectly placed victim of a calculated frame. As Sinha peels back the layers of the Vance family's grief, he uncovers a venomous truth that Elara died trying to expose. Beneath the manicured lawns of Cypress Point lies a shocking web of adultery, medical malpractice, and financial conspiracy involving Alistair's closest allies. Everyone had a reason to want Elara silenced, and someone used the family's darkest secrets to design the ultimate act of revenge.
