Jack Banner - Alone in the Dark

Jack Banner has never been a man of faith-not in gods, nor in people. A private investigator, he lives off scraps and the echoes of cases left unresolved, in a gloomy apartment. An ordinary morning takes a turn when Cindy, a woman of enigmatic beauty and pale skin, appears in his living room claiming to be the victim of an attack. There is something strange about her presence-a chill that comes before the storm, a shadow that seems not to belong to the world of the living. Reluctant as he is, Banner agrees to help her.

As he investigates the case, Jack Banner plunges into the damp alleyways and decaying memories of Pale Hills, a city where corruption and fear blur together, where every corner seems to conceal a secret. The Solothurn bar, drunken ramblings, the wary gaze of a restless bartender-everything seems to conceal secrets about Cindy. Each clue leads him deeper into a labyrinth of guilt and ghosts, and the farther he goes, the more the detective realizes that he is caught in a web of illusions, where nothing is what it seems and no one is truly innocent.

Jack Banner - Alone in the Dark is a psychological crime novel that blends reality and delirium, guilt and redemption, life and death-a disturbing plunge into the darkness that dwells within each of us.
