Synopsis "Dead Load"

A balcony fails in Rotterdam. A fifteen-year-old boy is under it when it comes down. Forensic engineer Elena Voss reads the wreckage and finds something that shouldn't be there: steel too new for a decades-old building, quietly hidden beneath a five-year-old safety certification that should never have been issued. What she uncovers isn't a single lie. It's a system - an inspector who keeps copies of files she was never asked to keep, a journalist who has spent his career waiting for one case to end differently, and a director who has spent thirty years convincing himself his compromises were mercy. Between what a pattern reveals and what it can prove lies the whole of this book - and the mistake that nearly destroys an innocent man before the real evidence catches up to the truth. Dead Load is a restrained, procedural literary thriller about evidence, certainty, and the difference between the two - for readers who loved the institutional coldness of John le Carr? and the forensic precision of David Grann. No courtroom theatrics. No convenient confessions. Just the slow, exacting work of building a case that holds.
