Part of Sisterhood, book 35
First published 2023
Isabelle "Izzy" Flanders reconnects with college classmate Zoe Danfield to secure construction expertise for a new café project. Zoe now works as vice president at a major construction firm, but she seems nothing like the confident woman Izzy once knew. Stress and tension have replaced Zoe's former self-assurance. The reason becomes clear when Zoe reveals her suspicions about her company's materials. Buildings and bridges worldwide have been failing catastrophically, killing hundreds of people. Zoe believes her firm's substandard foundation materials caused these disasters. When she tries to investigate, her superiors silence her and warn her to stay out of company business. Zoe realizes someone must expose the truth about these preventable deaths. She turns to the Sisterhood, the group of women known for fighting injustice and protecting victims. But this enemy possesses wealth, influence, and resources that rival the Sisterhood's own capabilities. The corrupt corporation refuses to surrender without a brutal fight, setting up a confrontation between two powerful forces with everything at stake.
