Law student John Ryan just wanted to pass the bar. Instead, he found a clause that rewrites reality.
Temping at a bottom-feeder law firm, John uncovers a 1927 deed containing the Integrity Clause - a paragraph that doesn't just describe property. It creates it. The ink is still wet. The words move under his eyes. And the firm that owns it, Hale Industries, has been using the clause for a century to steal homes, erase memories, and silence anyone who gets too close.
When his boss turns up dead and a pair of ink-eyed men in charcoal suits come for him, John is saved by Sasha Chen, a forensic linguist who has been tracking the language for years. Their only hope is a court that was defunded in 1999 but never legally closed: the Department of Obsolete Land Records.
With no license, no backup, and a target on his back, John must litigate against a ghost. Because if he doesn't void the Master Deed, the Integrity Clause will void him - one paragraph at a time.
The Integrity Clause is a supernatural legal thriller for fans of John Grisham's legal suspense and Stephen King's dark imagination. Perfect for readers who believe that words have power - and that the law should never be used to steal a home.
