Affluence — Naleighna Kai

In a world where every conceivable fantasy can become reality, the perverted will indulge in the forbidden and someone will wind up on the wrong side of the grave. Nothing is as it seems within the walls of The Castle. Membership and privileges in this exclusive enclave go according to rank, status, and wealth. Few individuals have the financial resources and global connections to be part of the board of directors.When one influential member of a communal household is murdered, everyone who owns a suite and controlling interest is a suspect. The victim is a business associate and confidante, who threatened to inform Khalil Germaine, the founder of The Castle, that his oasis of hope was fast becoming a den of iniquity.In Khalil’s absence, certain factions are keen on assuming the reins of power, and the crime is cleverly disguised to hide its true intent. With each suspect trusting no one, it’s anyone’s guess how many are involved, where their allegiance lies, and who might be the next victim.The assigned detective has the task of unraveling the complex threads of this heinous crime. Plus, dissecting the relationships that make up the foundation of a place that was initially built for humanitarian purposes. Vigilance is key, or even she might find herself six feet under—same as the director whose death she’s been tasked to solve.
