About
Book 1: [ Episode 1-9 ]
status: ready for print/ funding.
The crime and mayhem in Blackpoint is kept in check by a flawed but effective system that employs hitmen to kill criminals who can’t be caught with standard police procedure. Local law enforcement looks the other way when assassins slaughter civilians so long as victims are on “the list.”
Katsumi Sicarius, a well-known assassin, kills a random citizen in a fit of rage. Hikori Mortem, a recently graduated high schooler, kills his abusive father in self-defense. Lost and confused, the two meet by chance. Katsumi takes Mortem in to clear his conscience. Mortem has to choose between trusting a stranger or giving himself up to the corrupt police force.
Book 2: [ Episode 10-16 ]
status: ongoing.
Police Officer Derek Gonzales and secretary Heather Hartley are fed up with the constant downplaying of the infamous “Black Angel” running amuck in Blackpoint. While his reckless actions continue to cost lives, he seemingly faces no consequences. Why is the police chief so eager to sweep things under the rug? And why do the victim’s bodies keep disappearing?
Meanwhile, Hikori Mortem struggles to accept the kindness of a stranger who seemingly only wants to spoil him. Grappling with his own inner demons, he pines for connection with the only person who’s ever treated him well. But the man behind the mask isn’t who he expects.
