In the crime-ridden Balkans, where corruption runs deeper than ancient bloodlines and murder goes unpunished, evil doesn't hide. It rules.

One bullet. One detective. One conspiracy that will destroy everything.

Detective Marco stood as the last honest cop in a world drowning in corruption—until a secret cult silenced him forever. His assassination was a declaration of war.

They thought killing him would end the investigation.

They were wrong.

Twin sisters. One mission. No mercy.

His daughters inherit more than grief—they inherit a war against organized crime that spans international borders.

Anna—a brilliant criminal investigator haunted by the murder she couldn't prevent.

Mia—a fierce detective burning with rage that could bring down an entire criminal network.

Two women bound by blood and a dangerous oath: We will finish what you started. No matter the cost.

But their mother knows the truth hidden in darkness.

Maria lies trapped in a mysterious coma, her mind imprisoned between life and death. Night after night, terrifying visions plague her unconscious mind:

Child trafficking victims crying in shadows. Young hearts stolen by ritualistic killers. Innocent lives sold to monsters who profit from unspeakable evil.

Doctors call it psychological trauma.

Maria knows these aren't nightmares. They're warnings.

Then comes the discovery that shatters everything:

Near the Una River in Bosnia, investigators uncover a mass grave containing children aged seven to eleven. Each victim bears the same horrific evidence—hearts surgically removed in what appears to be ritual murder.

This isn't random violence. This isn't the work of a serial killer.

This is organized crime. This is human trafficking. This is systematic evil.

And it's still happening.

What Maria sees isn't the past. It's prophecy.

Anna and Mia thought they were solving their father's murder mystery. They were. But they've stumbled into something far more sinister—an international conspiracy involving:

Corrupt politicians trading children through illegal networks

Secret societies performing ritual killings across multiple countries

Organized crime syndicates so powerful that governments protect them

Child trafficking operations hidden behind legitimate businesses

Every clue in this psychological thriller pulls them deeper into a dangerous investigation where trust is fatal, allies become enemies, and family bonds are tested beyond breaking.

This is more than a crime thriller. This is a fight for justice.

When the legal system fails, when law enforcement is corrupted, when innocent children keep disappearing into darkness—

Sometimes two determined sisters and an unbreakable bond are all that stand between evil and justice.

Sometimes solving crimes requires becoming hunters instead of investigators.

Sometimes justice demands a reckoning.

A gripping suspense novel where:

Every twist reveals deeper corruption. Every chapter uncovers darker secrets. Every page brings them closer to a truth that powerful people will kill to protect.

The hunt begins now.

Will you follow Anna and Mia into a world where corruption reigns, conspiracies run deep, and two sisters must become the justice system that failed them?

Turn the page. The investigation starts here. And it ends in blood.
