Concrete Graves

Twenty years after a brutal forced eviction left a Valdorian slum in ashes and a child presumed dead, real estate magnate Leo Vance returns to Novara to reclaim the land that stole his past. But when his redevelopment project unearths a hidden corpse, Detective Elara Voss is drawn into a tangled web of arson, murder, and an inter-provincial child trafficking ring. Every uncovered secret reveals that the quiet, orderly life of the city is a fragile illusion, balanced on a foundation of old blood and vanished children. As the bodies pile up, both Leo and Elara must confront the devastating truth: the line between victim and avenger is whisper-thin.
