Clues, Cats, and Contracts
(2026)(A book in the Keira James Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Aleena Vale
Corruption doesn’t always break rules.
Sometimes it perfects them.
When city archivist Keira James finds Greenway project permits stamped APPROVED but missing signatures, she assumes it’s sloppy bureaucracy—until the paperwork starts vanishing and real-world safety hazards begin matching the forged records.
With a sharp-eyed gray tabby she calls Whisper refusing to leave her side, Keira follows a trail of altered contracts, cut-out inspection conditions, and ‘Emergency Repairs’ that smell like fast money.
Contractor Rory Cantwell claims he was wrongly pushed off the job and warns the work is unsafe and Marla Sennett, the Contract Compliance Coordinator, insists everything is ‘procedural,’ yet her initials keep showing up where they shouldn’t.
Now a public Greenway event is approaching.
If Keira doesn’t stop what’s coming, someone could very well get hurt… and she could lose her job for digging where she was told not to look.
Genre: Mystery
