Your Pity Killed Me

In the aftermath of Hurricane Hecate, Elena Marsh became the face of a class action against Veridian Mutual Insurance, only to die under suspicious circumstances. Now her ghost narrates to journalist Cameron Stirling, guiding a revenge that exposes corporate greed—but as the layers peel back, Elena’s own unraveling memory reveals that the public’s sympathy, and Cameron’s own pity, were the true architects of her death. A Sue Grafton-style noir where the detective is haunted by a victim who may be the most unreliable narrator of all.
