The Scalpel's Truth

In the shadowed city of Belford, private inquiry agent Julian Cross and his forensic pathologist confidante, Dr. Lena Sable, are drawn into a labyrinth of charity and cruelty. When a nameless boy is found dead in an abandoned canal, the autopsy reveals wounds that speak of a hunted animal, not a random tragedy. A desperate teenager, Leo, then stumbles into Cross's office, claiming to have escaped a "preserve" run by the city's most beloved philanthropist, Victor Hale. As the scalpel peels back the skin of Hale's immaculate façade, it exposes a private hunting ground where the rich stalk the forgotten. Death becomes the only honest witness, stripping away every lie until nothing remains but the cold, unadorned truth.
