The Bystander’s Fingerprint

In the Republic of Westria, historian Dr. Elena Moreno uncovers a secret treaty that proves the nation’s founding myth is built on a lie. After her suspicious death is ruled an accident, her daughter Claudia files a wrongful death lawsuit, only to discover that every silent witness—from the neighbor who heard nothing to the official who looked away—left an invisible fingerprint on the murder weapon. A Mary Higgins Clark-style legal thriller where silence becomes the deadliest accomplice.
