Detective Eleanor "Ellie" Graves had spent over a decade chasing shadows criminals who thought they could outsmart the law, killers who believed they were untouchable. But even in her years of experience, nothing had prepared her for this. She stood just inside the threshold of the apartment, the smell of stale air and faint traces of cologne lingering in the stillness. The place was too clean not in how obsessive people kept their spaces neat, but in a way that felt...unnatural. Sterile, as if someone had erased all signs of life before leaving.

Theodore Bellamy was a name spoken only in the most exclusive circles. His reputation as a master tailor had been carefully stitched together over decades, a testament to his skill and discretion. For those who wore his suits—politicians, aristocrats, business people who thrived in the shadows—his craftsmanship was more than just a luxury. It was a necessity. Every thread, every stitch, was precise, tailored not just to the body but to the wearer's life.

But nothing had prepared her for what awaited on Blackwood Isle. The call had come late in the evening, just as she was packing up her office at the university. A frantic voice on the other end of the line—a local sheriff from a small coastal town—urged her to take the next available boat.

The Davis family was settling in for the night. It was a typical evening in their quiet suburban home Emma Davis hummed softly as she washed the last of the dinner plates while her husband, Mark, flipped through the channels on the television, searching for something worth watching. Their eight-year-old son, Jacob, lay sprawled on the living room rug, lost in a world of action figures, while their teenage daughter, Lily, scrolled through her phone, barely acknowledging the rest of the family. Outside, the wind whispered through the trees, rustling the leaves in the darkness.
