DC Harper Cole grew up in the shadow of her father’s unsolved murder, a trauma that sharpened her into a detective obsessed with finding the "glitch" in every story. She doesn’t trust truth; she trusts evidence that shouldn't be there.
Across the table sits Marcus Cross, a high-end "fixer" suspected of a brutal jewelry heist. The security footage is grainy, but the gait is unmistakably his. However, Marcus is smiling. At the exact time of the robbery, he was being ticketed for speeding three towns away by a rookie cop who remembers his face clearly.
Harper leans in, her eyes tracing the faint, jagged scar on Marcus’s wrist—a detail not in the police report. She realizes the alibi isn't just a coincidence; it’s a masterpiece of synchronized timing. Marcus didn't commit the crime alone; he hired a double to take the ticket while he hit the vault.
"You’re good, Marcus," Harper whispers, sliding the speeding ticket back to him. "But the officer noted you were wearing a Rolex. The man in the vault was wearing a Casio. You're a perfectionist, but your double has cheaper taste."
The smile on Marcus's face falters. The glitch has been found.
