"A Shocking Accident"

It was ruled an accident. Nicole Norwood didn’t buy it for a second.

When a councilman’s wife is found dead in her bathtub, the official story is simple: a tragic household mishap. Case closed. But with the press circling and his career on the line, the councilman hires Norwood and Cross to take a second look.

As Nicole Norwood and Jason Cross revisit the scene, small details begin to buzz louder than the bathroom lights: an unlocked door, a barking dog, and a setup that feels just a little too neat. What should have been a freak accident starts to look carefully staged—and dangerously personal.

With classic noir instincts, sharp banter, and unresolved marital tension, Norwood and Cross uncover a crime fueled by jealousy, opportunity, and one shockingly simple method. In A Shocking Accident, nothing is accidental… and someone definitely knew the power was on.
