A mutilated body in an alley.Left nearby, an object tied to a disappearance from more than twenty years ago.The discovery forces an old case back into the light and pulls a veteran detective into an investigation he never escaped. The past resurfaces in fragments. The present offers no mercy.Told across multiple timelines, in gritty, cinematic prose, Captives follows the collision of unfinished business and new violence as long-buried facts begin to surface. It unfolds like a film you can't look away from. It's tough. Emotionally heavy. A slow descent meant to be endured.
