Two polygraphs. Two promises of truth. But when the tests ended, the real deception began.
One passed. One failed. Neither told the full story.

In this explosive chapter, James confronts Howard Wheeler with proof his airtight alibi was a fabrication, and catches it all unfolding in real time. Meanwhile, Rachel Barton’s collapse after her failed test triggers something no one saw coming: a new timeline. A new last sighting. A new crack wide enough to change everything.
This isn’t about who fooled the machine.
It’s about who kept lying after the mask fell off.
And this time, the cracks are too big to ignore.
