Chapter 2 - THE GHOST CALLED CLAIRE
Margaret ordered an immediate background investigation.
Within twenty-four hours the report arrived.
There was no legal record of anyone named Claire Bennett before eleven years ago.
No birth certificate.
No high school records.
No driver's license.
Nothing.
It was as though she had appeared from thin air.
The identity had been manufactured.
Professionally.
Someone had erased an entire life.
Meanwhile, Damon realized the bank box had been opened.
He panicked.
That night every hidden company under his control began transferring millions offshore.
Too late.
Federal financial investigators froze them first.
One shell company caught Evelyn's attention.
Black Ridge Timber Holdings.
She had never heard of it.
Yet somehow...
it owned land inherited from her grandfather decades earlier.
Land she never remembered selling.
Margaret frowned.
"Someone forged the transfer."
"When?"
"Twenty-eight years ago."
Long before Damon had entered Evelyn's life.

The deeper they investigated...
the older the conspiracy became.
