The Woman in Apartment 12

Claire Evans requires a sanctuary to escape her past. The historic Ashcroft Apartments offer cheap rent and absolute quiet, but the lease comes with unspoken conditions. Superintendent Arthur enforces strict isolation and issues one absolute mandate: never look into, ask about, or approach the vacant unit across the courtyard. Do not knock on door twelve.The illusion of a quiet sanctuary shatters during a violent storm. A flash of lightning reveals a pale woman pressing her hands against the pitch-black glass of the forbidden apartment.Claire discovers a horrifying architectural secret. A two-foot void exists between the walls, complete with a hidden access door, a feeding slot, and a two-way mirror. The building is not a historic residence; it is a containment facility. A unified syndicate of tenants, staff, and a corrupt physician keeps Sarah Vance, the true heir to the Ashcroft estate, drugged and imprisoned to drain her massive trust fund.The tenant committee meets on Friday to eliminate the new threat. Claire must navigate the dark, century-old ventilation shafts and subterranean coal chutes to sabotage the electrical grid. Extracting the captive requires surviving a lightless labyrinth hunted by desperate people who will commit any crime to protect their stolen empire.
