Welcome to the world of Zoe Blaise.
Behind the polished surface of the international beauty industry lie ambition, secrets and uncomfortable truths. In the Zoe Blaise Mysteries, following the money can uncover far more than financial wrongdoing.
Written by Tess M. Calloway, these character-driven conspiracy thrillers bring together forensic accounting, cosmetic science and international intrigue. At their heart is Zoe Blaise, whose determination to follow the evidence draws her into investigations where powerful interests have much to protect—and where knowing whom to trust can be as difficult as uncovering the truth.
Alongside Zoe is the unconventional team at Orpheus Consulting, including the enigmatic Giovanni Jones, known as the Count. Their loyalties, relationships and past decisions shape the course of investigations that reach from Wales into an international network of money, influence and control.
Wales is the heart of this world: a place of belonging, reflection and sometimes refuge. Beyond it, the trail leads through laboratories, boardrooms and cities where scientific promise and commercial ambition can become a dangerous combination.
Drawing on the author’s decades of experience in cosmetic science, the series explores the choices people make when reputations, fortunes and lives are at stake. These are clean thrillers with dark themes, human consequences and secrets that do not stay buried.
Four books invite readers into this world: Shadow Ledger, the prequel revealing the Count’s past and the origins of Orpheus; Pink Bobbit; Cold Indifference; and Digital Facade.
