Ace for Murder

When Julian Vance dies under seemingly controlled conditions at a high-profile tournament, the case points to an easy culprit—a planted syringe, a desperate employee, a convenient confession.

But Detective Barnes knows better.

The evidence is too perfect. The trail is too clean.

As he digs deeper, Barnes uncovers a chilling conspiracy buried beneath the glamour of professional sports—corporate money laundering, illegal performance-enhancing experiments, and a system willing to sacrifice lives to protect its empire.

Every clue leads higher. Every answer is buried deeper.

And when the truth threatens powerful interests, the case isn’t just about solving a murder anymore—

It’s about surviving it.

In a game ruled by money and control, this wasn’t just murder. It was strategy.
