Bone Witness

In the rusted cathedral of Calverton, a city where law is drafted in boardrooms and enforced with ledger books, a janitor named Elias Vane accidentally records a conversation between the university chancellor and a state senator—a deal that trades federal grants for the silencing of a rape victim. When Elias reports it, he becomes prey. The entire city machinery—police, courts, press, and the university's legal arm—converges to bury him under a mountain of procedural motions, mental health evaluations, and sovereign immunity claims. With no lawyer, no allies, and only a dying sister's medical bills as leverage, Elias must turn the system's own cold logic into a weapon. But every legal victory costs a piece of his soul, and the final trial is not in court—but in the mirror.
