When journalist Arjun Menon arrives to interview Detective Daniel Williams, he expects stories of unsolved cases, not the beginning of one. Moments after their meeting, Daniel discovers something horrifying in his kitchen, a discovery that reopens a case that nearly destroyed his career.

Haunted by his past and betrayed by those closest to him, Daniel sets out to uncover the truth, only to find himself entangled in a web of deceit that reaches far beyond the police force.
At the center of it all lies Victor, his old friend turned ghost, and a powerful organization known only as the Syndicate.

But every revelation comes with a cost.
And every pawn eventually realizes it was never playing the game, it was the game all along.

The Detective’s Pawn is a compact, psychological crime thriller that explores deception, justice, and the darkness that lies beneath moral conviction.
