Detective Yves De Salvo thought it was just another routine case when he was assigned to reinvestigate the death of a prominent businessman. Originally ruled a suicide, the case was reopened under suspicions of murder. As Yves meticulously reviews the evidence, he uncovers a chilling realization: the crime scene and circumstances mirror the plot of a crime novel he read years ago. The novel's author, Hazel Beltran, is a celebrated writer whose dark and intricate stories have captivated readers worldwide. Coincidentally, she is also the stepdaughter and sole heir of the deceased tycoon. But what strikes Yves even more is the shocking discovery that Hazel is the same girl he fell in love with one unforgettable summer years ago-a love he thought he'd never experience again. As Yves scrutinizes Hazel's life, her relationship with her stepfather, and the eerie similarities between her fiction and reality, questions begin to arise. Is Hazel the brilliant but twisted mastermind behind the crime, or is she the victim of a sinister frame-up? With his feelings for Hazel complicating his judgment, Yves finds himself stuck in a Lavender Haze.
