Castles, Coffee, Crime.

By Mohammad Humaid Khan

Arthur Vance is a man bound by severe OCD, an unyielding internal chronometer, and a strict, twelve-ristretto-a-day ritual. But on a chilly Monday dawn, his precise world is completely shattered when he stumbles upon a hauntingly familiar corpse cooling on his kitchen floorboards.

Join Arthur as he completely ignores the local police, aggressively over-analyses the extraction profile of his morning espresso, and relentlessly lectures a corporate boardroom of suspects about the finer points of roast levels. But within the grand, weeping walls of Vance Manor, the clues don't just point to an assassin.

They point to an ancient, medieval magic - and a secret that will rewrite everything he knows about life, death, and his own reflection.
