Story
The story
Liam Vance's wife, Clara Carnegie, is the city's chief medical examiner, known as the "Corpse Whisperer." When Liam is framed for a hit-and-run, Clara points the finger at him, backing the charge with a flawed autopsy report from her intern, Tim Kerr. On the day of his sentencing, Liam declares his innocence and warns that Carnegie Corp will go bankrupt. The court postpones its verdict, giving him one week to clear his name, but no legal expert in the city dares cross Clara.
As Tim is promoted and celebrated online, Clara demands Liam sign over his shares. He refuses, revealing that he built Carnegie Corp and holds seventy percent of its stock. Clara and the other shareholders then remove him as CEO, and partners flood him with termination notices. Liam orders his joint accounts frozen and divorce papers drafted, then drives to Tim's birthday party, where the intern has been given an honorary board seat.
Opening excerpt

She used a shoddy, hole-ridden autopsy report from some intern to throw me in prison.

[Big thanks to my amazing mentor for trusting me! We finally put the bad guy away. Feeling like a true champion of justice today!]
