The Detective Games - #1: Trial By Firefight

By Zechariah Barrett

Leor is a simple detective. A gentleman, at that.
His case record is pristine and loose ends are something he scoffs at.

Until he meets Joe Holmes. Then Jean.

He finds one detective after another is after the same singular thread. He speculates that this thread is one of many, a portion of strings with one great orchestrator whose motive is malevolence.

As ambiguity grows and the danger is heightened, Leor wonders if this is one case he should've left in his past.

In this first serial: "Trial by Firefight", the story truly begins. Leading up to and past the events of the teaser, Leor seeks the truth surrounding his previous case, that of "Désolé Mansion." But when his investigation leads to a fight for his life, Leor realizes he's gotten in too deep.

About the AuthorIn the heart of the midwest, we're surrounded by cornfields, soybean crops, and wheat galore. The prairie is tranquil. Dreamlike.Yet I've always had a great desire to travel the world. The prairie is home, and much of the world can seem so alien in comparison. Being far from the ocean, I was awestruck the first time I took a plane overseas and when I walked along the shores of the Emerald Isles. It was so beautiful and refreshing. I've wanted to see more. I've wanted to see as much of the world as I can.This desire to travel has often been coupled with two of my other greatest desires: to write and to be part of something greater than myself. I love to write, because even when I can't travel, a world can be created with just a pen and some paper.The concept of the Detective Games series, for example, was something that really excited me, because of how diverse it could be. I envisioned detectives all across the globe, traversing exotic locales, and with thrilling cases to be solved.With the desire to be a part of something greater than myself, I'm driven to make a difference in the world through writing, charity, and through the day to day of life. As my writing career expands, I'll be taking an active role in charitable causes and investing in those things which make way for a better tomorrow.It's a privilege to have this community of readers. Thank you.
