The Unraveled Alibi: A murder. An innocent man. An impossible love.

By Renato Luis da Silva

Ten years ago, Clara Duarte took the witness stand and, with absolute certainty, helped send an innocent man to prison.

Today, a new DNA test sets Gabriel Vale free - and the same week, a second body turns up in the exact spot where the first one was found. Same white flower on the chest. Same watch stopped at 11:47 PM. Same perfect signature of a crime everyone thought was already solved.

Except the real killer has been walking free for a week.

Clara has days to face a question that will destroy her either way: did she spend ten years hunting a murderer - or ten years helping protect one?

And Gabriel - the man she swore to hate until her last breath - may be the only person willing to help her find the truth. Because he knows something he's never told anyone: he knows why the killer did it. And he knows that, this time, the target might be her.

As the bodies pile up and a private investigator the family has trusted blindly for a decade always seems one step ahead of everything - too kind, too convenient, too present - Clara will have to choose between the comfortable certainty that's kept her whole for ten years, and the uncomfortable truth that might finally set her free.

Because in Blackridge, no one is exactly who they seem.
And the perfect alibi is always the one no one thinks to unravel.

*The Unraveled Alibi* is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romantic suspense about the difference between the story we're told and the truth we refuse to see - even when it's right under our nose.
