Exposure

Daniel Merrick spent thirty years listening with his eyes as a high-powered London solicitor, a skill born from his first love: photography. When grief and a sudden cardiac warning force him into a thirteen-month reprieve in Florence, he picks up his cameras to capture the city beneath the postcards—the ordinary, beautiful human life moving against ancient stone.

But a camera lens can reach across a crowded piazza and pull out secrets meant to stay hidden.

When Daniel captures the precise, chilling moment a rising politician is assassinated in the Piazza della Signoria, his eyes lock with the killer's. Suddenly, the grieving tourist is the only witness holding definitive photographic proof of a ruthless Mafia expansion. Caught between a compromised police force, a fierce anti-Mafia magistrate, and an assassin who cannot afford to be seen, Daniel must decide what his sight is worth.

Exposure is a gripping literary thriller about grief, responsibility, and the high cost of refusing to look away.
