In a city where justice is as murky as the rain-slick streets, Detective James Colver has built a career on sharp instincts, relentless drive, and an unshakable belief in himself. But when a seemingly insignificant murder occurs in the Scum District, the investigation twists into a maze of half-truths, visitations of the past, and enemies who always seem one step ahead.
As the evidence piles up, so does the pressure-from the police, from the underworld, and from the ghosts of James's own past. Every lead he follows draws him deeper into a web of corruption and betrayal, where no one is truly innocent and trust can be fatal. To find the killer, James must face questions he's never dared to ask... and survive answers that could shatter everything.
Perfect for fans of gritty detective noir and twist-laden thrillers, Broken: A Detective Novel delivers a tense, atmospheric ride through a world where the line between hunter and hunted is razor thin.

Wives' Murder Club
The dates match. Everything added up. How could I not realize it? The bodies. The charges. The gossip. The rumours. The accuracy. The deaths. Every single body went missing. They were right, I should have listened. I knew something was weird, but not this bad. Church on Sundays, book club on Mondays, Bible study on Wednesdays, their kids' games on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Charity donations on Fridays, and dates on Saturdays. I guess its true what they say. The biggest monsters don't hide in the darkness of your closet. Instead, they smile in your face in broad daylight. The worst demons don't conceal themselves in your shadow. They thrive in the light. The darkest souls own the brightest smiles. A light so captive, you don't even realize they've gotten so close. Don't even realize when you've befriended them and their darkness has touched you. So, Sometimes, to find the ugliest monster, you have to look in the mirror. P.S, the tags should serve as a warning as well. This story is my own, which means I own the characters, plot, etc. However, I did get some inspiration from James Patterson's WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB, just with a slight twist ;)
