The Street Beyond the Sirens
Every street received the flood warning. Except the one that mattered.
The county’s report says the flood warning reached everyone. Iris Hadley is standing in a street full of people who never heard it. By morning, homes are underwater and an engineer scheduled to testify about a major public contract is missing.
Hired to explain the discrepancy, Iris finds a tidy delivery record that cannot be reconciled with the residents’ accounts. Her own earlier recommendation is cited as the reason the street was excluded. Someone wants the failure to look technical, accidental and hers.
With the river still rising, Iris works with emergency crews, a sceptical detective and a reporter who is running out of patience. Each recovered detail narrows the distance between a warning that failed and a witness somebody wanted unreachable. She must establish what happened before the evidence washes away—and before the next official assurance sends more people into danger.
