A cold October rain fell. Detective John Miller arrived late. Another body in the alley. The scene was brutally familiar. A single knife wound. Precise, efficient, and deeply personal. The victim was a man. Early forties, well-dressed, seemingly prosperous. His wallet was still present. His watch glinted under floodlights. No obvious signs of struggle. Miller crouched by the body. He noted the clean cut. A professional’s work, he thought. But something felt strangely off. A playing card lay nearby. The queen of hearts, placed. It was not there before. He was sure of it. This was a new message. A direct challenge for him. The rain began washing evidence. Miller’s team worked around him. He stood up, feeling cold. This was just the beginning.
