The dictation scenes are interrupted by long flashbacks scenes showing how the investigation proceeded. After a number of paroles granted to dangerous career criminals, the California Governor and State Attorney General suspected corruption in the state parole board.

The daughter of a mayoral candidate had visited the blackmailer that day, and is brought in for questioning. A newspaper editor, who does not want that candidate to win, visits Lt. Carson and pressures him to tarnish the daughter's reputation until the election is decided. Carson resists.

The corrupt medical officer takes orders from the editor, and is commanded to get the body out of the police station before anyone else learns that the blackmailer was poisoned before being shot. Some slapstick comedy ensues during attempts to smuggle the body out of the station. After further plot complications, the murderer and his motives are revealed. The mayoral candidate's daughter is cleared of suspicion before her father's chance in the election is ruined.

Written as a love letter to classic noir films and detective tales, this story embraces the gritty, hard-boiled dialogue and smoke-filled narration that define the genre.

In a city where neon lights flicker through the perpetual night, casting long shadows over rain-slicked streets, Evan walks the line between man and machine, past and present. The world around him hums with technology—cold, indifferent, and often deadly. But beneath the chrome and circuitry, the same old darkness lurks, a darkness that has already taken so much from him.
As he delves deeper, Evan uncovers dark plots designed to control the population, with corporate hands pulling the strings behind the scenes. Each clue, each lead, drags him further into a web of deceit, where power is wielded through technology and truth is buried under layers of secrecy. But in this city of tech and shadows, where the future collides with the past, Evan knows he must keep pushing forward, no matter how high the stakes or how deep the darkness, because in the end, it’s the only thing that keeps him sane.
A new tale of grit and intrigue from Dominic Sterling.
