The Gilded Noose

Born in the squalor of Meridia’s capital slums, Elias Kane claws his way into law school and becomes a state prosecutor. When a Black motorist dies after a traffic stop in Briarwood County, Elias sees his chance: he fabricates evidence to exonerate the sheriff’s deputies, securing a life of privilege. But as he stands on the brink of becoming Attorney General, an investigative journalist uncovers the truth, forcing Elias into a final, brutal reckoning where ambition and justice collide.
