Be ready to take a deep dive down the rabbit hole of detective files, riddles, ransom notes, recorded interviews, and psychic assistance.

Detective Jack Hargrave closes his eyes, seals the envelope, and leans back in his chair. He tents his hands on the top of his head and exhales, whispering a silent prayer that you'll say yes.

That you'll help...

Crime scene photos cover the desk before him, but they already haunt his nightmares. He thinks he's on the trail of a serial killer, but something isn't adding up...
