The Ashes of Alibi

A trapped room. A fresh corpse. A five-year-old lie that refuses to stay buried.
Mia is Seattle’s most ruthless corporate attorney, built on ice and secrets. But her carefully constructed life shatters when a midnight call leads her to a rotting boathouse on Whidbey Island. The scene is a nightmare: her old friend Lucy covered in blood, and Ethan—the billionaire heir who ruined their lives—dead on the floor.
Before Mia can clean up the mess, a shadow steps out of the dark. Jason, Mia’s bitter ex-fiancé, is already at the scene. And the police are already closing in.
Trapped in a perfectly orchestrated setup, the three estranged friends must forge a desperate, high-stakes alibi to survive the night. But as the investigation tightens and a powerful corporate empire moves to crush them, a chilling realization sets in:
The trap wasn't set by the police. It was set by one of them.
In a game where trust is a liability, who is the real mastermind?
