Clara Hensley is invited to consult on security at a prestigious botanical conservatory. The brief is clean, the funding is recent, and the timing is wrong. Twelve days after she begins tracing a financial network tied to institutional corruption, the invitation arrives.

By morning, a senior botanist is dead.

No forced entry. No visible cause. A locked conservatory filled with rare plants and controlled climate zones becomes the perfect crime scene. Or something worse.

As Clara digs deeper, she uncovers a system designed not just to conceal murder, but to deliver it. The conservatory is not a room. It is a mechanism. A controlled environment capable of turning air, water, and routine into weapons.

Financial records link the estate to a shadow network operating through legitimate institutions. Staff speak in rehearsed patterns. Access logs are missing. And someone inside the investigation is watching her every move.

When a second attempt is made using the same method, Clara stops waiting for proof and starts building a case that cannot be buried.

Claws in the Conservatory is a sharp, atmospheric mystery where nothing is hidden, everything is visible, and the truth is engineered to disappear in plain sight.

Perfect for readers who enjoy intelligent, method-driven investigations, layered conspiracies, and slow-burn psychological tension.
