Flames of the Righteous

When her brother vanishes in the crumbling Republic of Vostok, New York litigator Claire Patton files a civil suit against the tour company McClain Adventures. But the courtroom offers only lies. Drawn into the post-Soviet labyrinth, Claire joins a cynical local fixer to hunt for the truth—and uncovers a state-protected organ-trafficking ring. As she weaponizes her righteous fury to expose the network, each desperate move sets off a chain of betrayals. In a world that has long abandoned innocence, her private crusade becomes a public inferno, proving that a fire lit for justice, if left ungoverned, will consume everything it was meant to shield.
