The Setup
The story begins with a chilling scene – the body of a prominent businessman is discovered in his penthouse apartment, the victim of a brutal murder. As the city’s top detectives, it is up to the Blind Eye Detectives to unravel the mystery and bring the killer to justice.
Lead detective, Sarah Taylor, is a tough-as-nails investigator with a keen eye for detail. Her partner, Jack Harris, is a former cop with a dark past and a quick temper. Together, they make a formidable team, determined to crack the case no matter the cost.
The Suspects
As the detectives delve deeper into the victim’s life, they uncover a web of lies and deceit. Everyone is a suspect, from the victim’s business partners to his estranged family members. Each suspect has a motive and an alibi, making the case more complex than initially thought.
One of the key suspects is the victim’s wife, a glamorous socialite with a shady past. She claims to have been out of town at the time of her husband’s murder, but her alibi is flimsy at best. Could she have orchestrated the crime to inherit her husband’s fortune?
Another suspect is the victim’s business partner, a shady character with a long list of enemies. He stands to gain the most from the victim’s death, but he insists he had nothing to do with the murder. Can the detectives trust him, or is he hiding something?
The Clues
As the investigation heats up, the detectives begin to piece together the clues that will lead them to the killer. From a cryptic note left at the crime scene to a trail of blood leading to an abandoned warehouse, every detail counts in this high-stakes game of cat and mouse.
One of the key clues comes in the form of a mysterious symbol, etched into the victim’s skin. The detectives soon discover that the symbol is linked to a secret society that operates in the shadows of Cliffton. Could the killer be a member of this clandestine group, using their influence to evade detection?
Another clue comes in the form of a missing weapon, a rare antique dagger that belonged to the victim. The detectives track down the weapon to a pawn shop on the outskirts of town, but the shop owner denies any knowledge of the murder. Could the killer have sold the weapon to cover their tracks, or is the pawn shop owner hiding something?
