Perdition: Deaf, Voiceless & Blind
A detective investigates a gruesome opera house massacre in this prequel thriller.
Detective Colin Manning and his partner John Arlington investigate a gruesome scene at the Mercer Opera House. The seating area contains bodies of the city's elite, left as a calculated message by sadistic killers. Manning recognizes the brutality but lacks direction for the investigation. A persistent intuition suggests this event is merely the start of a larger pattern. The narrative follows the two men as they enter the unfamiliar world of the wealthy to hunt the perpetrators. Their search reveals a hidden society that poses a lethal threat to their lives. The story functions as a prequel to Perdition An Eternal Cycle, establishing the background for subsequent events in the series. Author B Leh constructs this thriller around police procedure and social mystery. This book suits readers interested in procedural horror and gothic suspense set within high society circles. It appeals to those who enjoy narratives where investigation leads into dangerous, unknown territories. Readers seeking lighthearted entertainment or historical romance will likely find the tone too dark and intense. The focus remains strictly on the investigative journey and the grim realities faced by the protagonists.
This work sits within the horror and supernatural fiction genres, published independently in 2019. It draws on traditions of police procedural thrillers and gothic suspense, focusing on the intersection of crime scene investigation and high-society secrets.
