Velvet & vice by Ms-Lojo

Velvet & Vice When Detective Julian Voss returns to the city, he's thrust into a case that has the entire police force on edge-a serial killer known as The Velvet Phantom, who leaves behind a single red velvet ribbon at every crime scene. Each victim is a powerful figure in the city's corrupt elite, and each murder feels more like a message than a crime. Leading the investigation is Homicide Commissioner Theo Laurent-Julian's former academy rival, closest confidant, and the one person who always seems to be one step ahead. Their relationship is a careful balance-familiar, flirtatious, and built on years of trust, but with something unspoken lurking beneath. As the investigation unfolds, Julian finds himself tangled in a web of secrets, deception, and moral dilemmas that force him to question everything-including the people closest to him. But by the time he pieces together the truth, it may already be too late. Because in a city built on vice, justice comes at a price.

With this new found discovery Violet questions her whole life. Violet, with the help of friends she made along the way, start to put the pieces together to solve the murder of her parents. As Violet and the friends get closer to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes; revealing secret pasts about the people they know.

SHADOWS OF SILENCE by anonymous_shiv7

In the city of Blackford, a sadistic serial killer is abducting young women, subjecting them to brutal rape before murdering them and leaving their bodies abandoned in public places. The police are left with no leads, no clear pattern, and no answers. Detective Vincent Reid, a young but experienced investigator, is appointed to head the case. He's joined by Lara Mitchell, a rookie detective eager to prove herself despite the overwhelming nature of the crimes. As the killings continue, the two detectives must confront the horror of the crimes while navigating their own personal demons. There are no cryptic messages, no hidden clues-just brutal violence and a rising body count. The killer is a methodical predator who has left no trace behind, and each murder is more horrifying than the last. As the investigation grows darker, Vincent and Lara discover a terrifying connection between the victims and a powerful, corrupt network in the city. They must race against time to stop the killer before another woman is taken, while grappling with the disturbing realization that the person responsible may be someone closer to them than they ever imagined.
