The Osei Letters: The Forensic Truth

Dr. Zahra Farmaian survived the Qajar evaluation. She's not sure yet if she survived what came after it. Eleven weeks post-verdict, her license is deferred, her supervisor has gone cold, and the fellowship that was supposed to make her career now hangs on a review board she can't read.

Then a letter arrives from Rebecca Osei — a name Zahra has only ever heard as a cautionary tale, the evaluator whose license was stripped years ago over a finding the institution called reckless and time eventually proved right. Osei isn't writing to be believed. She's writing to hand Zahra a pattern: acquittals that don't add up, licensing reviews that all trace back to the same handful of names, and a warning that what happened to her wasn't an accident — and it's happening again.

As Zahra follows the thread Osei hands her, she has to decide how far to trust a woman the entire profession taught her to fear, and how much of her own career she's willing to spend finding out whether Osei was right.

The Osei Letters is a psychological thriller about institutional betrayal and the cost of being right too early — Book Two of the Forensic Truth trilogy.
