    In East Asia, the line between law enforcement and criminals has been completely obliterated. Corruption runs so deep within the local police forces that distinguishing a good cop from a dirty one has become impossible. With the system officially broken, the Presidents and Police Chiefs of Japan, South Korea, and China are forced to make an unprecedented plea for secret intervention. The local authorities have lost the war. Now, Interpol must take over. Activating their most extreme protocol, Interpol deploys their best operatives as "Black Ops"-ghosts whose existence will never be acknowledged by the world. These elite agents are forced to step out from the safety of the shadows and directly into the line of fire. Among them is a top-tier intelligence operative who willingly erases his entire identity. Operating as an invisible man, his lethal mission is to infiltrate and dismantle Asia's largest criminal syndicate from the inside out. Caught in a ruthless criminal underworld and a deadly game of cat and mouse, the phantom agent must find a way to complete his mission. But how can a ghost survive when the three absolute queens of Asia are hunting him down, armed with a choking love, absolute protection, and an endless obsession?

    Heather Orme isn't your average detective - mostly because she's not supposed to be one. She's eighteen, dramatic, and allergic to common sense. When a mysterious note appears in South London whispering "Found you," Heather decides to investigate... armed with a magnifying glass, a trench coat, and absolutely no plan. Between Celeste - the radiant singer who might be hiding more than lyrics - and Mari - the cardigan‑wearing voice of reason who's just trying to survive Heather's chaos - things spiral fast. There's a puppeteer pulling strings, Detective Inspector Walsh yelling "HEATHERRR!", and enough emotional damage to fill a crime scene report. It's a mystery. It's a comedy. It's a psychological fever dream. And somehow, Heather's still convinced she can solve it before bedtime. Expect: chaos, clues, accidental brilliance, and one girl who refuses to stay ordinary.
