Det. Jack Stone

Intro (Dead Reckoning Series: The Detective 1/4) The rain hasn’t stopped for three nights. Somewhere in this city, a body hit the pavement, and the police closed the case too fast. They called it a mugging. The whispers call it murder. The truth? Buried deep in smoke and shadows. The victim was Elias Moreau, a bookkeeper with no enemies on paper — and too many off the record. He knew something. Something worth killing for. Now it’s your job to find out who pulled the trigger, and why. Four figures hold the pieces of the puzzle. The cards never lie — but they don’t give up their secrets easily. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯❦⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ I've walked these rain-soaked streets for fifteen years, and I know the difference between a mugging and an execution. Elias Moreau was careful - too careful for a random street crime. His apartment was searched before the cops got there, his files sanitized, his contacts suddenly silent. The badge-carriers want this buried, but dead bookkeepers don't balance their own books. Someone's cooking numbers that don't add up, and I'm going to find out who. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯❦⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ One dead bookkeeper. Four suspects with blood on their hands. The cards never lie - but people do. •Question each player. •Use their secrets against each other. When the stories crack, the truth bleeds through. In this city, everyone's guilty of something.
