Shadows of the City

A killer leaves behind puzzles. A detective haunted by his past. One final game.

In a crumbling American city in the late 1980s, a series of brutal murders rocks the streets. Each victim — a young woman — is found with a chilling token: a handmade puzzle piece, a chess pawn, a music box.

Detective Jack Malone is assigned the case, but the deeper he digs, the more the clues seem to point to him — his past, his failures, and an old case he couldn't solve. The media calls the killer The Puzzle Man. But for Malone, it's personal.

As the body count rises, the killer’s riddles grow more disturbing. The final victim may still be alive — and the killer wants Malone to find her… or fail trying.

Whispers in the Dark is a psychological crime thriller full of mystery, tension, and twisted mind games. Perfect for fans of Se7en, The Silence of the Lambs, and Mindhunter.
