The year is 1947 in Brooklyn, and PI Ray Allison is on the case when he is hired by Gwen Sanford to look into the death of a high profile millionaire and weapon manufacturer with shady connections, her father, Stephen Sanford, who suddenly died in a bizarre car crash which is quickly written off as a suicide. The case will prove to be anything but straightforward however. A dearth of direct evidence and a parade of suspects with possible reasons to kill promises to complicate Allison's investigation. Furthermore, his involvement with Gwen and the alluring stranger, Vera Walters, may just prove his undoing...

Note: This story should be read as a frame narrative. The plain text is the flashback. The italicised text is in the "present", and is meant to reflect the narrator telling the story to somebody else. It can also be thought of as a voiceover.

Where the Light Fails by dduargarcia
15 parts Ongoing Mature
*New chapters are released regularly.* A mystery set in a coastal city that never forgets - it just hides what it remembers. Marlow rides the night coach into Caldera to chase a paper ghost - his mother's name in the municipal archives. By noon, he's earned a knife, a warning, and the interest of Sargento Naroa Iriarte. By dusk, a refugee lies dead in a shirt that matches Marlow's, and Inspector Bonet calls it a coincidence. Caldera calls it routine. From a church annex that "doesn't nap" to Solayne House and its attic of maps, every record points to the summer Sofia Álvez disappeared - and to a present tense that wants Marlow gone. The city sands every witness smooth. The men who came for him won't make the same mistake twice. ⚠️ Content Warning: This story contains mature themes, strong language, and scenes of violence. It explores trauma, loss, and moral conflict within a noir setting. Reader discretion is advised.

WARNING: This story contains explicit material and some languages which may not be appropriate to everyone. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. This is my first story ever. I hope you enjoy reading every part of this psychological thriller. Comments and suggestions are most welcome. Reproduction of any part of this original story is prohibited. PROLOGUE Head investigator, Brent Sherwood found a very distraught young woman at the crime scene. She was hiding in the walk-in closet behind the hanging wardrobes of the dead man. Her eyes were wary and scared. He asked for her name. "Nikola", she whispered in thick Italian accent. Her voice was full of anguish and despair . "Are you the dead man's daughter?" Brent asked the young woman whose exotic beauty was covered with sweat, tears and great fear. She shook her head and mumbled, "Wife". There's a pang of regret that stuck in his throat. In that moment of disbelief, he immediately erased that first impression to console a bereaved woman. Whoever believes in love at first? Such foolishness should be deleted off his mind. His feelings must not cloud his judgement. He must act in accordance to his job even if it's his first time to admire a woman after 3 years in solitude. Did she kill her husband? That's the question he must unravel before focusing on his own personal motive.

Verity City is drowning in neon and smoke. Theaters rot, radios whisper lies, and every alley hides a face you almost recognize. Reese Calder thought he'd left detective work behind-until a cassette lands on his doorstep. On it: a murder told in his own voice. By morning, the body is real. Each new tape drags Reese deeper into a nightmare: streets that shift, faces that vanish, a city editing itself like film. His reflection flickers in old projectors. His voice bleeds through dead air. And someone is scripting his life-one that always ends in blood. The question isn't who's guilty. It's who's real. A razor-edged noir mystery, where déjà vu kills and every broadcast could be the last. ( Thank you for reading! This story is part of a completed series I've written, so you can enjoy it from start to finish. I hope you get lost in it as much as I did while writing. Enjoy! :)

A graceful, brilliant Black woman with a warm laugh and a sharp intuition, Clara is the anchor of their quiet life at home with their 3-year-old son, David. While the tabloids speculate on co-star romances and secret scandals, Jameson remains the picture-perfect family man, attending red carpets by night and making pancakes for Clara and David in the mornings. But their picture-perfect world begins to crack when tragedy strikes the silver screen. One by one, the leading ladies of Jameson's recent films are found murdered-each discovered in their dressing rooms with a single, eerie calling card: a set prop from the film they starred in with Jameson. A perfume bottle, a bloodied script, a broken vanity mirror. The scenes are staged with obsessive detail. The city is in a panic. Whispers circle. Reporters flock. Suspicion sharpens. And Jameson Hart is the prime suspect. Though the public begins to doubt him, Clara never does. Not for a moment. Fiercely loyal and quietly brilliant, Clara begins her own quiet investigation alongside the police detective assigned to the case. Her instincts tell her that someone is watching them. That the killer is playing a game-a dangerous script leading to a final scene. The murders grow closer to home. The clues are more theatrical.
