When the Lights Went Out

When the Lights Went Out
The sudden, total eclipse of the city lights wasn't a failure of infrastructure-it was a coordinated strike. And the target was Rhea Ripley.
Known in certain circles for her lethal efficiency and quiet untouchability, Rhea had spent years building a fortress around her life. But when the power grid died, the fortress fell silent, and she vanished without a whisper. Now, every favor is being called in, and every dark corner of the city is being searched.
Assigned to the case is Damien Priest, a detective whose methods skirt the edges of legality and whose past is as murky as the crime scene. Damien knows this isn't a random snatch. Only someone with deep, specialized knowledge of Rhea's world-her vulnerabilities, her routines, and her enemies-could have executed a flawless abduction in the time it takes for a generator to kick on.
As Damien delves into the web of high-stakes rivalries and professional betrayals that define Rhea's existence, he discovers the kidnapper isn't after money or territory. They want to dismantle Rhea's legend piece by piece. The clock isn't just counting down to her return; it's counting down to the complete exposure of everything she ever hid.
Damien must navigate a brutal landscape of shadows and half-truths, catching the predator before Rhea Ripley becomes nothing more than a ghost story left over from the night the lights went out.
