Before Cross Over

Claire, an ambitious and determined woman, is on the trail of a murky murder case when the body of a young woman is found on the riverbank at the edge of town. Arriving on the scene, she encounters strange details: a mysterious monogrammed knife, a witness who is a mysterious man. Eddie, who becomes increasingly suspicious with his strange behaviour. Luke, a photojournalist who moves with unusual confidence in the world of mystery, joins Claire in trying to unravel the case. Claire doesn't understand why, but all the clues lead to William, who has put her in charge of the case. Eddie, initially thought to be a witness, eventually confesses to the murder. But for Claire, something doesn't add up: why does Eddie want to meet William? After Eddie's outburst of rage and Luke's ruthless condemnation, Claire is confronted with the realisation that Luke is not just a helper, but a collector of the sinners of the world in transition. The most dramatic moment in the story comes when William appears to reveal the ultimate truth to Claire: she is not only on the trail of murder, but trying to unravel the circumstances of her own death. The knife she found as a clue is actually hers. Eddie, who in his anger harmed her, only took her life by accident. Claire faces her own fate and, with William's help, takes the final step.
