The Autopsy of Lies

In the affluent city of Ashwick, Lord Alistair Crane is revered as a selfless philanthropist whose charity galas mask a horrifying secret: a private hunting ground where the desperate are stalked for sport. When Leo, a homeless teenager fleeing a false accusation, scales the walls of Eldridge Manor seeking shelter, he stumbles into a nightmare of masked hunters and steel traps. As bodies are fed to the estate’s crematorium, forensic pathologist Dr. Helena Krause begins to notice impossible patterns in the bones that cross her table—fractures speaking of prolonged terror, not accident. Under her scalpel, Crane’s web of influence begins to unravel, and death’s cold honesty reveals the monster wearing a saint’s smile.
