A body. A suspect. A detective who won't stop digging.
It’s April 2005. When newly promoted Detective Sergeant Nolan Cormac discovers a woman's body in a darkened house, the evidence points clearly to one man: Jimmy Archer. Text messages, motive, opportunity—it's an open-and-shut case. At least, that's what DI "Sid" James wants to believe.
But Cormac isn't convinced.
As he digs deeper into the murder of Marie Simpson, nothing adds up. The text messages came from a phone that wasn't switched on. The forensics don't match. And the prime suspect has an alibi that nobody bothered to check.
Working against a superior officer with a personal vendetta and his own exhaustion after covering night shifts, Cormac must navigate office politics, questionable evidence, and his own inexperience to uncover the truth. Because in the quiet town of Windover, someone may have committed the perfect murder—and they're about to get away with it.
In The Beginning is the first in a series of crime thriller novellas featuring DS Nolan Cormac'''a detective who will learn that understanding monsters comes at a terrible price.
Sometimes you catch the monster, but sometimes the monster catches you.
Genre: Mystery
