Glass House

Restoration is her passion. But some secrets are buried too deep to rebuild.Eighteen months after a devastating car crash shattered her life in Philadelphia, architectural restoration expert Elena Marsh buys the Hargrove Estate - an isolated, mid-century minimalist marvel perched precariously on a granite cliff over the roaring Maine surf. Constructed almost entirely of raw structural steel and massive panels of floor-to-ceiling glass, the house is perfectly transparent, built to hide nothing from the world. For Elena, it feels like the ultimate sanctuary: a glass fortress where she can see danger coming from miles away.But the illusion of safety shatters during the season's first fierce winter gale.When the local power grid goes pitch black, a mysterious localized transmission loop sparks to life on her roof peak. Drawn down into the home's raw concrete basement footer, Elena discovers a faded blue ledger and a hidden subterranean communications vault dating back to 1974. The encrypted data reveals a chilling truth: she wasn't sent to this lonely cove to heal. Her professional credentials have been weaponized by someone she trusted most to legitimize a massive, fraudulent corporate land grab.As a relentless data recovery specialist closes in to erase the digital evidence, Elena must place her trust in Nathan Cross, the rugged ridge caretaker who has spent years guarding the property's secrets. Together, they must decode the ledger's cipher and hijack the server trunk before the system reboots. In a house designed with zero blind spots, Elena is completely exposed and forced to decide if she will run again, or finally stand her ground.
