Book One of the Operation Ashfall Series
Some secrets were never meant to survive.
Detective Leah Lyles is called to a murder in Kensington. It should be routine.
Until she finds the photograph.
A young boy standing in front of a white cottage. The same cottage from a case she and Justin worked years ago, and never fully closed.
What begins as a single homicide quickly spirals into something far bigger: a hidden network, a covert program buried in East Berlin, and a name that keeps resurfacing.
Operation Ashfall.
The deeper Leah digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Files disappear. Witnesses vanish. And it becomes clear she isn't just investigating the case, she's finishing one she never should have walked away from.
Because someone has been waiting for this.
And if Leah gets too close, she won't just lose the case. She'll lose everything.
A gripping crime thriller that unravels into international espionage, Shadows in the Dark is the first novel in the Operation Ashfall Series. Perfect for readers who love slow-burn suspense, institutional secrets, and morally complex investigations.
