13 Ways to Die

Thirteen attempts to break her. Thirteen data points to prove them wrong.For thirty years, this family has been the gold standard of immigrant success in Harlan Creek, Ohio. The father built a flawless reputation navigating bureaucratic rooms, while his eldest son rode on a wave of unearned entitlement. Then there is Arivia. A brilliant computational linguist and corporate litigator, she is a clinical anomaly in a family built on curated elegance and political favors. She reads patterns for a living. And she has a zero-tolerance policy for hypocrisy. When her brother's simmering envy boils over into brutal, back-room violence, Arivia does the unthinkable in a town bought and paid for by her father's influence: She files a police report.To her family, Arivia is no longer a daughter. She is a tumor that must be excised to save their legacy. What follows is a silent, terrifying war of attrition. Over the next three years, her family deploys thirteen increasingly frantic, desperate attempts to erase her from existence. But they made a fatal miscalculation. They expected her to break, to cry, or to quietly disappear. Instead, they handed a master litigator an ironclad paper trail. And through the crucible of their hatred, she transforms into something entirely untouchable.
