The City Beneath Glass

In a city built of mirrors, every truth has a reflection—and every reflection hides a lie.

When wealthy heiress Victoria Glass vanishes without a trace, seasoned detective Miles Harper expects another ordinary missing-person case. But the deeper he digs, the more the city itself seems to watch him. Towering glass buildings multiply every shadow, and whispers suggest the heiress was never truly missing…only hiding.

Victoria is brilliant, strange, and disturbingly perceptive. She claims reflections reveal truth better than people do—and she’s been watching Miles for far longer than he realized. The closer he gets, the more he’s forced to question the line between truth, illusion, and the lies people tell to protect themselves.

As he hunts through a labyrinth of mirrored skyscrapers, secret flights, manipulated identities, and a family desperate to maintain a perfect image, Miles uncovers a chilling pattern:

In this city, transparency is an illusion… and the most dangerous person is the one who sees too clearly.

The Glass Heiress is a sharp, atmospheric detective mystery blending psychological tension, noir aesthetics, and a haunting exploration of truth. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Paula Hawkins, Stieg Larsson, and dark urban mysteries.
