Detective Hale has spent his career hunting murderers, criminals, and the darkest elements of Jameson. As one of the city's premier detectives, he believes he's seen nearly everything the streets have to offer. But when a series of gruesome murders begins appearing across the city, each marked by a blood-soaked origami crane, Hale finds himself pursuing a killer known only as the Red Crane—and discovering that the victims may have a connection to him that he never expected.

As the murders continue, Hale is forced to confront more than a killer. The choices he has made, the people he has hurt, and the sins he has carried throughout his life begin to catch up with him, threatening his career, his family, and perhaps even his soul. What begins as an investigation into a serial murderer becomes a much more personal battle, where every mistake has a price and redemption may come at a cost.

The Sins of Detective Hale is a series about crime, consequence, temptation, and the darkness that follows us when we refuse to confront our past. In Detective Hale's world, justice isn't always delivered in a courtroom—and some sins refuse to stay buried.
