Where the Light Fails by dduargarcia

*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.
