The Glass Corridor

A structural inspector falls from a scaffold in Midtown. By afternoon the audit that could explain it has vanished, the whistleblower has gone silent, and the only person still holding a copy of the file is the firm's head of compliance. Danae Morrell was twenty-four when Aiden Cole taught her to read a load table the way other people read faces. She has spent a decade learning exactly what he'll do to protect his towers — and exactly how far he'll go to protect her. The dead man flagged four buildings. Three are still standing between the city and daylight. And the person who bought the falsified loads is still walking the glass corridor six floors above Danae's office, wearing a badge with her company's logo on it. She can report Aiden Cole and lose her career. Or she can trust him one last time and become the next name in the file.
