His skull had been crushed. No signs of a struggle. No weapon in sight.

A Scream in the Midnight
Chapter One: The Dark Beginning The night was pitch black in the village of Glenora, where the villagers gathered around a fire flickering in front of the scattered stone cottages. The cold was biting, the sky heavy with clouds, and the wind howled as if trying to rip the souls from their bodies. Glenora was an ancient, isolated village, surrounded by legends and tales about an abandoned mansion on a high hill, a place no one dared to approach after sunset. It was said that this mansion once belonged to the Finebrook family, known for their wealth and power in past centuries, but their end was rumored to be both catastrophic and bloody.

"The Final Admission"
"The Final Admission" Like a clock ticking away to something inevitable, the rain pounded the pavement as it fell in sheets. Detective Jane Harper stood looking at the dilapidated building across the street in the faint light of the streetlamp. It used to be the center of the city's criminal underworld, where dubious transactions and risky relationships occurred. Like the mysteries it contained, it now remained deserted.
