The Neighbor's Alibi MTA
A Psychological Thriller of Memory, Deception, and the House Next Door

About this book:

In "The Neighbor's Alibi," Rowan Hale, an architectural illustrator living with prosopagnosia (face blindness) after a traumatic car accident, finds her ordered world shattered when her next-door neighbor, Jenna Park, is murdered. As the sole witness, Rowan's inability to recognize faces becomes both her biggest obstacle and, unexpectedly, her greatest asset. Forced to rely on sensory "patterns"—gaits, scents, vocal tics, and minute physical details—Rowan becomes an unconventional detective, meticulously mapping the invisible identities of those around her in her increasingly dangerous apartment building.

As Rowan navigates a web of police skepticism, public discredit fueled by a sensationalist blogger, and chilling psychological attacks, she uncovers a vast EMT fraud ring and the true motive behind Jenna's death. Her investigation leads her to a calculated killer with a distinct set of sensory signatures, but the deeper she digs, the more she realizes a trusted neighbor, Caleb Hart, is the manipulative mastermind pulling the strings. The book culminates in a thrilling, high-stakes confrontation amidst a burning building, where Rowan must use her unique perception to unmask the perpetrators and confront the unsettling truth that her own traumatic past is deeply intertwined with the killer's insidious machinations.
