“We need evidence.”
The team’s principal investigator. Ethan narrows claims instead of enlarging them, and he only follows a conspiracy theory when the evidence forces him there.
Pattern recognition, environmental evidence, chain-of-proof discipline. He is a private specialist, not an arresting officer. His reports have to separate observation from inference, and his need for a defensible chain of evidence sometimes puts him at odds with the urgency of the people he is trying to help.
Precise, methodical and skeptical. He tries to disprove the dramatic theory before accepting it.
His evidentiary caution can become emotional distance or delay when action is needed.
In The Water Line, Ethan refuses the easy answer and keeps the case grounded in what the plume, the records and the missing samples can actually prove.
Ethan, Maya, Marcus and Lena follow the same cases from very different professional angles.
Discover the team’s investigative method and the first novel where their skills are put to the test.
