The Grand Lexington Hotel in Boston was filled with hundreds of guests attending an international charity gala. Crystal chandeliers sparkled above the six-story marble atrium while musicians performed beneath the elegant balconies.
Everything appeared flawless.
On the top floor, thirty-two-year-old Olivia Carter stood near the glass railing wearing a beautiful red evening dress.
In her trembling hands...
She clutched a thick folder filled with legal documents.
Tears streamed down her face.
Inside those papers was evidence exposing millions of dollars in financial fraud committed by executives attending the gala.
Olivia had planned to hand the evidence directly to federal investigators waiting outside the hotel.
She never made it.
A hand suddenly emerged from the shadows.
It landed firmly on her shoulder.
Olivia gasped.
She tried to pull away.
The folder slipped from her hands.
Within seconds...
She lost her balance.
Guests below looked upward just as a terrified scream echoed through the enormous atrium.
Olivia fell toward the marble lobby below.
The entire hotel froze in horror.
