This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Nathan Holloway has spent years studying a disturbing pattern that has claimed six lives. Each case follows the same progression: withdrawal, disruption, isolation, a fixation on a portrait, and finally death. When Maya Sinclair arrives in his office after her partner, Derek Pierce, survives a devastating accident, Nathan and detective Claire Harper recognize the early signs of another Portrait Case. But this time, something is different. Maya begins to recover instead of retreating, rebuilding her life instead of surrendering it, and for the first time the pattern appears to be reversing. As Nathan and Claire dig deeper into the old cases, they begin to question what they thought they understood about the phenomenon—and whether the curse is something that causes loss or something that feeds on it. Then Derek disappears without explanation, leaving behind an unfinished wooden box and a mystery that seems to defy everything the previous cases taught them. What Are Still Allowed is a psychological mystery about grief, love, obsession, and the fragile choices that can determine whether a person is lost or survives.
