A death that could not have happened. A secret that refused to stay buried.
Dr. Marcus Feld is found dead inside a locked instrument room at Cerro del Silencio Observatory, high in the Andes. The door was locked from the inside. The only key was in his pocket. No one entered. No one left.
Investigator Gideon Ashbourne has built a career solving exactly this kind of impossibility. But the deeper he digs into Feld's death, the clearer it becomes that the true mystery isn't the locked room at all, it's what happened on this mountain in 1902, when a mining disaster killed eleven men under circumstances the official record has spent over a century carefully rewriting.
As Gideon and archivist Elena Vasquez uncover falsified records, a survivor erased from history, and an organization that has silenced anyone who asked too many questions for four generations, the investigation turns personal in ways Gideon never anticipated, and considerably more dangerous than either of them is prepared for.
Some secrets don't stay buried. They wait.
Perfect for readers of literary mystery who love slow-burn investigation, richly atmospheric settings, and conspiracies that reward patience with genuine payoff.
