A murder at 30,000 feet. A cabin full of suspects. One observant passenger who refuses to look away.
When a celebrated artist dies before sunrise, Amelia has one chance to catch the killer before the plane lands and the truth disappears into the crowd.
Amelia only wanted a quiet flight.
Instead, somewhere over the Pacific, a famous gallery artist collapses in business class, and what first looks like a tragic medical emergency begins to feel like something far more deliberate.
The cabin is sealed. The suspect list is short. Everyone is watching everyone else.
Amelia is not a detective. She is not looking for danger. But she is calm, observant, and impossible to distract once something stops making sense. A moved sketch kit. A detail that does not match. A passenger who says just a little too much. Another who says too little. As the hours tick down toward landing, small inconsistencies begin to form a pattern, and Amelia realizes the killer may be counting on the chaos of travel, grief, and authority handoffs to bury the truth for good.
To stop that from happening, she will have to trust what she sees, ask the right questions, and hold her nerve in a cabin where fear travels faster than facts.
Secrets at Sunrise is a warm, fast-moving cozy mystery with a locked-room feel, a clever fair-play puzzle, and a satisfying emotional payoff.
