Echoes in The Badge

In the quiet, historical city of Newford, a brutal murder shatters the peace. But Chief of Detectives Miles Corbin quickly finds this is no ordinary crime. An ancient, unsettling symbol-a faint dragon etched into a victim's wall-whispers of a past long buried.

Meanwhile, across the city, Chief Officer Alex Miller is drawn to an old, secluded estate where methodical digging has disturbed the earth, unearthing a mysterious locket bearing a chillingly similar design. As their separate investigations pull them into a web of forgotten claims and hidden histories, Miles and Alex discover their cases are terrifyingly intertwined.

Someone is willing to kill to keep an inconvenient truth about Newford's very foundations from seeing the light. But what if the past they're chasing isn't just history, but a living echo, reaching out for them with deadly intent? And what if the deepest secrets lie closer than they could ever imagine?
