Preston Whitmore

Just as I’m grabbing my coat, ready to leave work a little early for once, my boss stops me in my tracks. “Not so fast,” he says, sliding a file across my desk. A high-profile case—one that could either make or break my career. Preston Whitmore, the mayor’s golden boy, has been arrested for a serious crime. The charges are bad—real bad. The media is already circling like vultures, eager to tear apart the perfect image of the rich, untouchable heir. But there’s one problem—Preston swears he’s innocent. And since I happen to be on good terms with his mother, the mayor herself, I was the first person called to take the case. I glance at the file, flipping through reports and photos. Something doesn’t add up. Preston may be arrogant, reckless, and entitled, but a criminal? That’s a different story. If he’s guilty, this case will be a disaster. If he’s not, someone went to great lengths to set him up. Now it’s up to me to find the truth—before the truth buries him.
