A Neo-Noir Thriller
Jazz City
“Every war starts inside.”
Welcome to Jazz City
A bright metropolis beneath a perpetually dark sky—where the deepest secrets aren’t buried in shadow. They’re hiding in the light.
The Assassin
Vie Chaos
At twelve, the syndicate murdered his family. Sent to an orphanage, he met Ame—a boy who understood loss—and Navre—a girl seeking belonging. The three became closer than blood. Now twenty-three, Vie works alongside them as a covert operative, hunting the syndicate that destroyed his childhood. They’ve struck a major blow. But eliminating a general embedded in city government is only the beginning. The syndicate has more leaders, more targets—and each mission is deadlier than the last. Vie is starting to realize the brutal truth: this path leads to only one place. And it will cost him everyone he has left.
The Detective
Louis Barruch
Ten officers slaughtered in a single night. Bodies torn apart with impossible speed and strength. The only witness—a syndicate member—describes something that shouldn’t exist: a masked figure moving faster than any human should, killing trained officers with surgical precision. As Louis digs deeper, every answer defies logic. Wounds no conventional weapon could inflict. A killer who appears and vanishes like smoke. And a pattern suggesting these aren’t random murders—but calculated eliminations. His investigation is pushing him toward a conclusion that shouldn’t be possible. Unless the killer isn’t entirely human.
Before the syndicate tore them apart, Vie and Louis were inseparable. What brings them back together will be worse than what divided them.
