The Serpent of Beacon Hill

Professor Mallory's murder case is officially closed, but peace never lasts long around Detective Cadwell.

This story opens with a flashback-a quiet, emotional chapter that returns to the past, to the day Cadwell first met White Mant, the man who would later become his closest ally. Before the crimes, before the blood-stained files, there was friendship... and trust.

In the present, a new and disturbing case emerges inside a high-security medical research facility. Secrets hide behind white coats, sterile corridors, and silent experiments. When the truth becomes too dangerous to uncover, only one detective is trusted to face it.

As always, the case is formally handed over by Buddy, the only man who has the authority-and the courage-to place the file on Cadwell's desk.

This is not just a murder investigation.
This is a test of loyalty, memory, and truth.
