Hammers on Bone

John Persons, a private investigator with a knack for navigating the underbelly of the city, finds himself tangled in a grim case when a desperate client seeks his help. The request comes with a heavy burden: a monstrous father has been terrorizing his son, and the boy’s pleas for protection tug at the hardened investigator's conscience. Despite Persons’ usual reluctance for emotional entanglements, the darkness of the situation draws him in, stirring a mix of compassion and indignation that he seldom allows himself to feel.

As he delves deeper into the murky world of supernatural undercurrents and unsettling revelations, the investigation leads him into nightmarish encounters that challenge his perception of reality. With an atmosphere thick with tension and an engagingly bleak narrative, the story unravels like a chilling puzzle, where shadowy figures and unsettling truths lurk at every corner. In this gripping tale, loyalty, courage, and the haunting specter of the past collide, forcing Persons to confront more than just the evil that threatens the innocent.
