CHAPTER 6 — THE WOMAN WHO NEVER EXISTED
Federal investigators finally traced Project Genesis to one missing executive.
Rebecca Hale.
Official records showed she died in Switzerland twelve years earlier.
Except...
she never died.
Facial-recognition software found her entering a courthouse in Boston only eight months ago.
Under another name.
Another passport.
Another face.
When agents raided her luxury apartment...
everything was spotless.
Except for one hidden room.
Inside...
hundreds of family photographs.
Not hers.
Children.
Parents.
Entire families.
Each image connected by red string.
Every adoption.
Every custody battle.
Every inheritance dispute.
Someone had been manipulating families for decades.
Then Mara found the oldest photograph.
It showed a charity gala twenty-five years earlier.
Standing beside Rebecca...
was Everett Vance.
Beside him...
Elaine Thorne.
And in the background...
a young Daniel.
Smiling.

Watching.
Learning.
