Get a Clue
When legendary D.C. homicide detective Marcus Ray is forced into retirement by a new police chief who sees him as a relic, it feels like more than the end of a career-it feels like exile. Marcus, long revered for his near-mythic ability to see what others missed, is suddenly left with cold cases that still burn hot in his mind. One in particular haunts him: the 2012 murder of a promising young journalist named Claire Hsu, whose death was ruled unsolvable. Stripped of his badge and his purpose, Marcus appears to fall into despair-until he's found dead in his apartment, an apparent suicide. His old team mourns the loss of a mentor, a brother, a man they thought would never break.
But Detective Vega wakes in the middle of the night with a realization that won't let go: Marcus wouldn't take his own life. And he wouldn't leave a case unsolved. As she and her former partner Moore re-examine the case files Marcus had obsessed over, they begin to see a darker design at play-one that points toward their own police chief, Jonathan Rudd. The more they uncover, the more they're drawn into a web of buried crimes, unspoken loyalties, and planted clues that blur the line between justice and revenge. What begins as an investigation into their mentor's death becomes a reckoning with the truth Marcus wanted them to find-but not too easily. Because Marcus Ray may be gone, but he's still pulling strings from beyond the grave. Or so it seems.
