THE GLASS ALIBI
THE GLASS ALIBI A NEXUS Files Novel
The Discovery
Elara Vance is a "ghost" in the world of high finance—a forensic accountant who can find money that doesn't want to be found. But when she uncovers Cell G-114, a digital heartbeat laundering $412 million through a shadow server known as NEXUS, she accidentally triggers a global kill-switch. Within an hour, her bank accounts are frozen, her biometric data is deleted, and her apartment is erased in a targeted explosion. Elara hasn't just found a mistake; she’s found a conspiracy that owns the very world she’s trying to save.
The Protector
Julian Vane is the man sent to ensure Elara becomes a footnote in her own audit. A high-level "fixer" with a reputation for cold efficiency, Julian is the apex predator of the corporate underworld. But when he sees the woman behind the ledger, something in his dormant conscience shifts. Instead of pulling the trigger, he pulls her out of the fire. Now, the hunter has become the shield, and Julian is officially in breach of the only contract that matters.
The Stakes
Forced into a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse across a rain-soaked metropolis, Elara and Julian must bridge the gap between her world of logic and his world of violence. To reclaim her identity, Elara must "audit" a system that has eyes in every camera and a pulse in every wire. But as the line between protector and predator begins to blur, she realizes the most dangerous thing about Julian Vane isn't his gun—it’s the secrets he’s still keeping about why she was targeted in the first place.
In the world of NEXUS, there are no accidents, no coincidences, and—above all—no survivors.
