Words: 2847 · Source Novel:: Tide of Ashes

Caleb Vance, a disgraced forensic pathologist, assumes a false identity to board the Acheron, a freezer trawler registered under a flag of convenience. He carries the case file of his brother Liam, who was sentenced to death for a convenience store murder after a warrantless phone search and catastrophic defense failures—a case identical to McCarroll v. State of Alabama. Liam’s last letter pointed to a crewman named Kessler as the true orchestrator. Caleb secures a berth as a deckhand, concealing his forensic kit and his hunger for retribution, as the ship slips beyond any nation’s jurisdiction.
