Book 1 - Ryan Neville: Smoke and Mirrors

“How often have I said to you, that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?” – Sherlock Holmes, A Study in Scarlet. My name is Ryan Neville. This is the story of how I went on vacation and ended up trying to unravel a mystery behind a major catastrophe. A fire erupted out of nowhere in the hotel my family and I were staying in, killing dozens and threatening the lives of the people I care about most. A truly tragic accident… except I saw the arsonist in the flesh. What’s worse is that I think they’ve followed me here, into a megalomaniacal billionaire’s mansion, to a place and people I know all too well. Every bone in my body is itching for me to run away as fast as possible. But I made a promise, down in the smoking ruins of that hotel. There’s no going back now.
