The Girl on The Corniche

A missing woman. A returned child. A hidden key in the wrong pocket.

When Gloria vanishes on the same day her kidnapped son mysteriously returns, suspicion falls on Violet Bearder-the quiet painter who lives alone by the Mediterranean Corniche with her white cat and her secrets.

Violet remembers nothing clearly. She wakes with muddy shoes, bruises on her body, and fragments of a night she cannot explain. The police believe she is hiding something. Gloria's husband is convinced she knows the truth. And somewhere between a seaside chalet, a trail of lies, and Violet's fractured memory, the answer is waiting.

But every person in Gloria's life has something to conceal.

A jealous housekeeper. A desperate husband. A detective who refuses to let go. And a painter whose mind may be protecting her from something far worse than guilt.

As the investigation closes in, Violet must uncover what happened before the truth destroys her-or proves she was never innocent at all.

The Girl on the Corniche is a dark psychological mystery filled with secrets, suspicion, obsession, and twists buried beneath the surface.
