When venture capitalist Julian Miller is found dead in his cliffside estate, the only clue is an origami crane folded from a hundred-dollar bill. To the local police, it’s an open-and-shut case of a botched robbery. To Detective Dorian Slate, a seasoned cynic who has seen every shade of greed in Blackwood Bay, it’s a surgical execution. Slate is forced to team up with his new partner, Junior Detective Beatrix “Jinx” Jinxford—a tech-prodigy with a neon-colored hair and a knack for “accidental” breakthroughs. Together, they must navigate a world of high-stakes deception where every wall is transparent, but the truth remains hidden. From a widow with a cold alibi to a business partner with everything to lose and a security chief with a lethal past, everyone is a suspect. As the fog rolls into the bay, the body count begins to rise. Slate and Jinx soon realize that in a house built on secrets, the most dangerous thing you can do is look too closely.
