Betrayal

Detective Adrian Cross, a man haunted by the mistakes of his past, is called to investigate a string of murders that seem to carry no connection. But as the trail deepens, he uncovers signs of a vast, unseen network pulling the city’s strings—one that has already destroyed countless lives, including his former partner’s. To unravel the conspiracy, Adrian is paired with Mara Vey, a brilliant yet enigmatic forensic analyst. Their partnership begins with suspicion and constant clashes, but slowly, their undeniable chemistry becomes a weapon against an enemy who always seems one step ahead. As the bodies stack higher and the danger tightens, Adrian and Mara are drawn into a game where every clue costs blood and every wrong move could mean death. Allies are scarce, betrayal is everywhere, and the mastermind behind the syndicate remains just out of reach until the final arc, when the truth threatens to break them both. Echoes in the Dark blends clever schemes, intense confrontations, and relentless twists into a suspense-filled journey where trust is scarce, and justice is anything but clean.

With time running out, their fight for justice takes them from smoky speakeasies to secluded estates, culminating in a high-stakes confrontation that could bring the conspiracy to light—or bury them in the ashes.
