Jade

A prominent San Francisco businessman is brutally murdered, and police psychologist David Corelli is assigned to investigate. When the initial evidence points to a mysterious woman known only as "Jade," Corelli uncovers a trove of compromising photographs depicting influential figures in the city. The investigation quickly shifts focus to Trina Gavin, an art dealer and the wife of Corelli’s close friend, Matt Gavin. As Corelli delves deeper, he is drawn into a world of sexual intrigue, high society secrets, and political blackmail, realizing that powerful individuals will go to any lengths to protect their reputations.

Torn between his professional obligation and personal feelings for Trina, Corelli navigates a complex maze of clues and suspects. Suspense builds as the investigation exposes links between the murder, illegal activities among San Francisco’s elite, and Trina’s hidden past. Confronted by conflicting loyalties and mounting danger, Corelli must piece together the truth while evading schemes designed to mislead him at every turn. The case becomes increasingly perilous, with Corelli uncertain whom to trust as layers of deception threaten to obscure justice.
