The Calamity Club: A Novel of Disaster, Deception, and Deadly Secrets

Thirty-seven people died in the Ashbourne Hotel fire. Clara Voss was supposed to be number thirty-eight. She survives because a stranger pulls her from the smoke, whispers that her death was planned, and leaves behind a black card bearing one terrifying message. You survived because someone changed their mind. Clara cannot let it go. The failed alarms, disabled sprinklers, missing evidence, and carefully selected victims all point toward something far darker than an accident. Then she discovers the Calamity Club, an elite circle of powerful people who do not merely profit from catastrophe. They arrange it. Fires. Collapses. Crashes. Deaths. Every disaster creates a winner, and the Club has spent decades making certain the winners are always them. But Clara’s name appearing on their latest list changes everything. Her husband knows more than he admits. The man who saved her belonged to the conspiracy. Her mother may have discovered the Club years earlier. And somewhere inside its secret ledger is the reason Clara was chosen to die. Now another calamity is approaching. To stop it, Clara must enter the organization that tried to kill her and uncover who controls the disasters before an entire city pays the price. Because surviving the fire was never the end of her nightmare. It was her invitation to the Club.
