The Poisoner's Game
As the London Season of 1877 opens, Lady Margaret Savoy wants nothing more than to be invisible and devour "Penny Dreadfuls" to avoid the cruelty of her aunt and cousin. When she finds a letter from her grandfather warning her about a man called the Poisoner, a powerful crime boss who killed her parents, her wallflower days come to an abrupt end as she falls into a deadly investigation. Literally. Out a window, in fact, and right into the path of Lord Alexander Rocque, a young detective. Alexander offers his assistance-with the Poisoner, and the window-and together they set out to discover the Poisoner's plans. But Lord Alexander has plans of his own. Recently ordered home from the Royal Navy to assist his father, a spymaster for the Crown, with the Poisoner case, Alexander is determined to earn his father's respect by catching the criminal through any means necessary. The perfect tool falls into his lap in the form of Lady Margaret, the Poisoner's next target, but using Margaret to draw out the crime boss has Alexander examining his moral compass. As Margaret learns about her heritage and Alexander uncovers his father's affiliation with the East Indian Company, they discover that their families are not so innocent after all. To stay alive in the Poisoner's game, they must find the key to the dying Opium trade-a key Margaret may, in fact, possess herself. If they don't find it, the Poisoner will escape yet again, but even worse, Margaret will become the next victim.Complete

The victim wouldn't have struggled if the door wasn't locked in the first place. A voice yelled, "Help!" It came from behind the door. Marcus turned around to see if anyone had followed him upstairs, but then he saw no one except a painting on the wall. "Leonardo!" the voice yelled again. "Stop playing games with me. Get me the fuck out of here! Right fucking now!" "Gianna?" Marcus yelled back. "Is that you?" There was no response for a moment. He was assuming that the woman was assessing the situation. "Gianna?" Marcus yelled again. "Hey, it's me! I'm getting you outta here!" "Marcus! How did you get in here?" "Don't worry about it!" He punched the door knob like a clueless idiot, testing if it would break that easily. But he guessed not. All he got in the process was a half-broken knuckle. "Stay away from the door!" he yelled at the woman. "What?!" she replied. Marcus decided to take a few steps away from the door, positioned his shoulders at the right angle, and inhaled a small amount of air for his chest to relax. He allowed his mind to grab the momentum. Afterwards he called it a start and rushed toward the door, like an angry bull upon seeing a red flag.Complete
MONSTERS WEAR MASKS
Detective Elias Voss spent years chasing shadows, hunting down the enigmatic criminal known as The Watcher-a mastermind who used riddles and twisted games to expose the darkest truths of society. But when Voss finally catches the villain, the true game begins. The Watcher doesn't fight. They don't run. They simply smile and whisper: "You were never supposed to find me." From that moment, Voss's world begins to unravel. As he delves deeper into the case, the lines between justice and corruption blur. He bends rules, breaks laws, and makes choices he swore he never would-all in the name of stopping the evil he once despised. But every step forward only leads him closer to a chilling realization: He isn't hunting the Watcher anymore. He is becoming them. Now, the city is searching for a new villain. What they don't realize is that their hero has already transformed into the monster he was chasing. And as the final riddle is left behind-etched in walls, whispered in the streets, painted in mirrored eyes-one question remains: "Was he always meant to fall... or did the world push him to it?" In this gripping psychological thriller, Monsters Wear Masks explores the terrifying truth that sometimes, the only difference between a detective and a villain... is perspective.Complete
