Detective Derek Adler made a name for himself in New York City after dismantling the case of the Velvet Mist. He spent the Jazz Age dancing and making one-night connections, allowing whispers to follow him during Prohibition as he ended his nights stumbling loosely back home, making a fool of himself with no repercussions. Born with a chip on his shoulder, he could do no wrong, and well into the Great Depression, he remained beloved.
Beloved by all, that is, except for James Anderson, who vowed many years ago to expose the detective for who he truly was: a liar and a coward. 
It isn't until 1936 that the men's paths permanently intertwine, stringing together the horrid truths of the details of the Velvet Mist case.All Rights Reserved

Change (A Connor x Reader story based on Detroit Become Human) by KeiZiahKnight1886

Y/n Anderson is her name. Charming and overall a friendly personality, she's the embodiment of the phrase "doing great". Or at least that's what she wants the world to think. The death of her brother changed her life and it had been turned upside down. Her mother left, her father developed a drinking problem and her relationship with either of them became non-existent. She tries pulling her life together but with the sudden surge of deviants among androids she finds herself in the middle of the mess. Another change is coming and this time, it all started with a simple sentence. "Detective Anderson, my name is Connor. I'm the android sent by Cyberlife." (Or the "what if Lieutenant Anderson had a daughter" trope but with my own story) -Completed

Believing In You (Blue Bloods Fanfiction) by Kato_Holmes

Book One. Detective Jett Howards never expected to end up in his hometown of New York as a on-loan detective. After spending seven years working as a Scotland Yard detective, and another four before that as a police officer, he wasn't really sure what was next for him. But to be in New York after eleven years of running from his past to say he was a little shocked would be an understatement. But you can't exactly turn down a personal request for your transfer from the Police Commissioner, especially after the man saved his life once upon a time. So cue him packing up every single thing he owns; his life, his music, his writing, his dog, and hopping across the ocean for a job in New York City. Everything that was to follow was expected; murder cases that tend to go cold, saving the Commissioner at many points along the way, even stopping a terrorist attack. The one thing that he never expected, was to fall in love with a Rookie, and not just any Rookie, the Police Commissioners son. ~~~ Book One is completed.

Chicago Typewriter by guywortheyauthor

As Detective Drew Lucy typed up the report on the Waterton case the pretty ankle slipped into his line of sight. It was shaped like trouble. The chief's sixteen-year-old daughter Millie was worried about her brother, Ike, who had started to disappear some nights. The chief could fire Drew for messing with family business, but Drew reluctantly agrees to tail Ike. The trail leads to a speakeasy and the mushrooming business of organized crime during Prohibition in Chicago. Clues from the Ebony Gardens murder point to the same gang, but the gangsters can smell Drew coming, and bullets are cheap. By the time Drew enters the seductive orbit of a mink-eyed vixen addicted to risk, he's in over his head. If he isn't shot full of daylight by gangster tommy guns, he'll drown in Bianca's perfumed embrace. It's enough to make a gumshoe readjust his fedora. ----- This noir flavored detective yarn is set 100 years back in time. It's a bit grittier than my usual breezy output. This story is basically clean and I did not flag it as mature. However, darker human failings (alcohol use, sexual desire, and violence) drive the plot. I don't dwell on those aspects, but it's definitely a story for grownups. The intended audience is new adult or adult. Winner! 2022 Amby Awards, Mystery and Thriller category. Winner! 3rd place in the Ballsy Tea Awards 2022, Action and Adventure category.
