An Elena Cruz Story
Before the Catalyst Protocol. Before the network. Before Elena Cruz knew how deep it went — there was Case File V.S. 104-B, and a death that wasn't supposed to be a case at all.

About the author
M.H. Barnett writes crime fiction about the people who operate in the spaces where institutions fail — detectives who keep pulling threads after the official case is closed, journalists who know more than they can safely publish, and the networks that depend on both staying quiet.
The Elena Cruz series follows a New York detective through a conspiracy that turns out to be larger, and older, than anyone had told her to expect.
Fast reads. No filler. Every page earns its place.
