Reasonable Doubt

Detective Ethan Cross thought he had seen it all until the death of tech mogul Adrian Kane shook the city to its core. Found dead in his penthouse, the crime scene screamed “burglary gone wrong,” and all evidence pointed to the grieving widow, Julia Kane.
But as Ethan digs deeper, the case refuses to fit neatly into place. Fibers, fingerprints, gunpowder residue, all the clues tighten the noose around Julia’s neck. The press crowns her the Black Widow, the brass demands a conviction, and Ethan’s own partner insists the case is open and shut.
Only Ethan isn’t convinced. Piece by piece, he unravels a performance too perfect to be true. Adrian Kane, genius CEO, ruthless visionary, had been rehearsing one final act. An elaborate scheme to stage his own death for millions in insurance money. But hubris is a dangerous game. In the end, Adrian’s brilliance became his downfall.
Now Julia is free, but her reputation is destroyed. The company thrives under new leadership, and Adrian’s legacy is reduced to a cautionary tale. For Ethan Cross, the case is over but the truth has left him forever changed.
Reasonable Doubt is a taut, twist-filled murder mystery in classic noir, where every clue leads one way… until it doesn’t.
