The Lena Variations

In the coastal city of Briarcliff Bay, a preemptive immunity suit filed by tycoon Julian Croft reduces a woman to a legal phantom. When the architects of this grotesque legal strategy begin dying in rituals lifted from classic novels, investigator Alice Vega uncovers a labyrinth of vengeance, desire, and moral collapse. As Lena Darrow orchestrates her bloody literary tribute, every survivor learns that the pedestal of righteousness is the first thing to shatter under the weight of survival.
