The South Cut (Char Line Book 16)

A sudden downpour makes Baltimore's South Cut crossing dangerous, and emergency crews close the low road after a teenage cyclist nearly gets trapped. City stormwater field liaison Mara Solis thinks the approved drainage plan rules out a larger threat—until she discovers temporary construction barriers still standing where the records say they were removed.

With a heavier storm forecast, contractor manager Victor Dane presses to preserve the false completion account. A city-approved relief route could protect the neighborhood, but it runs beside Mara's father Gus's lifelong tool shop and the machines he cannot easily move.

Mara must establish what is actually on the ground, disclose her conflict and give qualified decision-makers evidence they can use. The safer public choice could cost her family almost everything.
