Myles Harding has always been sharp, but since the change, his senses have reached an unnatural peak. Every detail, every sound, every scent—nothing escapes him. The flick of a lighter across the street, the tremor in a liar’s voice, the faintest trace of blood under polished fingernails.
It’s a gift, but it’s also a curse. There’s no shutting it off. The city is loud, the crimes are messy, and the truth is always uglier than it seems. When Myles focuses, his mind locks in like a predator hunting its prey—except sometimes, what he finds isn’t something he was ready to see.
His hunger for the truth drives him forward, but the things he sees? They linger. They haunt. The screams in the alley, the look in a victim’s eyes, the sickly scent of fear—he can’t forget them, no matter how much he drinks, how many cases he solves, or how hard he tries to drown it all out.
The wolf inside thrives on the hunt, but Myles? Myles still has to live with it.
