On a humid summer evening in the pulsing heart of Brooklyn, the exclusive VIP room of La Nuit Étoilée served as an oasis for the elite and notorious. The bar's opulent decor gleamed under dimmed chandeliers, and the air was thick with secrets and whispers. It was a sanctuary for those who wished to hide in plain sight, but tonight it would become ground zero for a twisted tale of deceit and betrayal.

The trader, a man named John with a penchant for high-risk stocks and even higher living, lay motionless on a velvet chaise, his lifeless eyes staring at the ceiling. His powerful presence was reduced to an eerie stillness that filled the room. An overdose, they whispered, but nothing about it seemed accidental. John had been a regular here, known for his lavish tips and a proclivity for the finer vices life had to offer. His favourite indulgence: Turlutta, the city's most sought-after escort known for her beauty and wit as much as her discretion. But even the most practised masks slip, and John’s past transgressions had sown the seeds of vengeance long buried in Turlutta’s heart; a vendetta that had now found its mark.

Among the potential suspects, the bar’s no-nonsense boss, Kristina, eyed the growing scene with a calculating detachment. She was an astute businesswoman, both fearing and loathing the ripple effects of scandal. John had been an integral part of her establishment’s financial survival. On the edges of the room loomed Dan “The Magicmush”, the thrill-seeking drug dealer with a penchant for chaos, and Laliche, the seasoned barmaid whose eyes missed nothing and whose memory could serve as a liability or a saviour.

Enter Detective Le Menec, a man whose reputation for piecing together the city’s darkest puzzles was both revered and feared. His sharp gaze swept the room, taking in every detail, every flicker of guilt or feigned innocence. In the murky world of illicit transactions and dangerous liaisons, everyone had a motive. And yet, the truth was a tangled web woven with years of hidden agendas and personal vendettas.

John’s demise turned the dazzling VIP room into a theatre of suspicion, where each act could lead to revelation or ruin.Detective Le Menec had seen his share of grotesque scenes, but something in the delicate balance of the room's players piqued his interest. Behind each crafted façade—of grief, relief, or indifference—lay strands of truth awaiting him to unravel. Beneath the glitter and glow of Brooklyn’s hidden night, a deadly drama unfolded…
