Requiem for Innocence

A puzzling attack. A web of dark secrets. A race against time.
In the tranquil seaside town of Cape Unity, Virginia, a young girl's puzzling attack shatters the calm, revealing a dark undercurrent of violence. Detective Scott Drayco, a seasoned investigator with a keen eye for detail, senses there's more to the story than meets the eye. With no leads, no motives, and no suspects, Drayco is drawn into a complex and dangerous investigation that uncovers twisted relationships and buried family secrets.
As he digs deeper, Drayco encounters a disfigured man with a mysterious past, his enigmatic Goth son, and a potential link to a series of unsolved murders in Washington, D.C. Every discovery pulls him further into a web of deceit and danger, where each shadow conceals a threat, and every step could be his last.
Drayco's growing feelings for a town councilman's wife add another layer of complexity to the case, testing his judgment and focus. As the investigation intensifies, Drayco must untangle the sinister web before the shadowy figure strikes again. With time running out, the next victim could be anyone—even Drayco himself.
