Trial of Smoke: Truth Buried in Lies

Truth is hard to see when everything is covered in smoke.
Trial of Smoke is a tense detective story where a high-profile trial begins to crumble under the weight of doubt. The case seems airtight—evidence secured, suspect charged, verdict all but guaranteed. Then the smoke clears.
A relentless detective uncovers signs of tampering, coerced testimony, and evidence shaped to tell a convenient story. Witnesses retract statements. Forensic results don’t align. And someone behind the scenes is working tirelessly to keep the truth obscured.
As the trial unfolds in public, the real investigation happens in shadows—through late-night interrogations, hidden reports, and risks that could end a career. Every revelation adds more smoke, not clarity. Because this case isn’t about justice—it’s about control.
Dark, procedural, and razor-sharp, Trial of Smoke is perfect for readers who love courtroom-linked detective fiction, slow-burning tension, and mysteries where the hardest part isn’t finding the truth—it’s proving it.
When the smoke lifts,
someone won’t survive what’s revealed.
