The Cliffside Confession (Kayla Brodie New York Murder Mysteries Book 5)
By Vivian Vale
A Picture-Perfect Assignment Becomes a Race Against Time
Travel photographer Kayla Brodie thought documenting the stunning clay formations at Chimney Bluffs State Park would be her most peaceful assignment yet. Armed with her camera and accompanied by her faithful black lab Nox, she’s finally ready for a break from environmental crimes and federal investigations.
But when brilliant graduate student Alex Chen vanishes while researching unusual erosion patterns, Kayla finds herself drawn into her most dangerous case yet. Alex’s research has uncovered something far more sinister than natural geological processes—a sophisticated criminal conspiracy that’s systematically destroying protected shorelines for profit.
The Truth is Worth Killing For
As Kayla and Detective Sarah Martinez dig deeper, they discover a web of corruption that reaches from desperate graduate students to powerful development corporations. Someone has been artificially accelerating erosion at protected sites, then collecting millions in insurance fraud while purchasing the damaged land for pennies on the dollar.
With Alex’s life hanging in the balance and evidence buried along the unstable clifftops, Kayla must use every skill she’s learned as an environmental crime photographer. But the criminals know she’s getting close, and they’re willing to stage another “accidental” death to protect their operation.
When the Ground Gives Way, Only Truth Remains
In a heart-stopping confrontation shrouded in Lake Ontario fog, Kayla faces the choice between her safety and exposing a conspiracy that threatens environmental protection throughout the Great Lakes region. With Nox at her side and her camera as her weapon, she’ll need every ounce of courage to survive long enough to bring the criminals to justice.
