What Breaks a Detective

Two weeks have passed since the fall, yet Scotland Yard is far from victorious. While the infamous Stephenson sits in custody, offering nothing but silence, his men scatter like shadows, slipping through the cracks. The city is still riddled with crime, but for Detective Inspector Toby Smart, something else gnaws at him-something unseen, something wrong.
The case is supposed to be closed, yet loose threads remain. Inconsistencies whisper at the edges of his mind, hinting at a truth buried beneath carefully crafted lies. Determined to uncover what doesn’t add up, Toby embarks on a relentless hunt for answers, knowing full well that the deeper he digs, the more dangerous it becomes.
Because sometimes, the pursuit of truth doesn’t just break a case.
It breaks the detective.
