On the night her husband Damian and her best friend Serena celebrate her funeral, Elise Avery is very much alive—watching from the shadows. She survived a car crash that was no accident: Damian cut her brake lines for a $40 million insurance payout. With the help of a private operative and her formidable grandmother, Elise assumes a new identity as Swiss art dealer Elara Voss, returns to the world that buried her, and systematically dismantles Damian's empire—draining his accounts, seizing his company board, and turning his mistress against him. But when she uncovers a decade-long embezzlement conspiracy involving her family's CFO, Elise realizes the real mastermind is still at large. From the river that nearly drowned her to the courtroom that finally sets her free, this is the story of a woman who refused to stay dead—and the reckoning she brought to everyone who tried to bury her.
