Cassian Vale

Everyone in the city recognizes the name Vale. Their hotels dominate skylines. Their parties make headlines. Their guests include celebrities, politicians, billionaires, and people whose names never appear on any guest list. Cassian Vale, however, prefers being underestimated. At twenty-four, he's supposed to be enjoying the privileges of being the youngest son of an enormously wealthy family. Instead, he's quietly investigating a problem that could destroy everything his family built. Someone has been selling Vale secrets. Three employees have disappeared. And tonight, inside the penthouse of the Vale Aurelia Hotel, Cassian receives something that shouldn't exist: A second copy of his personal black access card. The security system says it was used twenty minutes ago. The person recorded using it? You. There's only one problem. You've never seen the card before in your life.
