You’ll Find Me Looking: A Novel

At Harrington, people are taught to understand desire, fear, persuasion, and choice.Mara Vale has always been better at noticing what people would rather keep hidden.At twenty-eight, she divides her life between studying Business and Economics at one of Boston's most prestigious universities and taking private investigation cases for people who have nowhere else to turn.Then a young woman asks Mara to find her missing seventeen-year-old sister.What begins as a disappearance leads to a celebrated charity, a glittering donor gala, and a discovery that makes one thing frighteningly clear: someone has built a system beneath the respectable surface of the city-and Harrington may be part of it.Caleb Ward, a former federal investigator carrying the remains of an older case, recognizes the pattern. He knows the danger Mara is walking toward.He also knows more than he is telling her.As trust grows harder to separate from attraction, Mara is pulled deeper into a world of old money, polished institutions, and carefully buried truths.At Harrington, everyone studies human behavior.Someone has simply taken the lesson further.
