The Black-Eyed Baby

How far can one go to conceal evil?


Detective Mansfield has seen a lot in his years in the police force, but he’s never had to stare into the eyes of a dead baby before.


He now wishes he never had to…


Days after an unidentified woman is found murdered and dumped behind an IHOP, police connect her murder to the death of a young thug named Rocco Maxen and discover her infant son dead inside her home.


Jane Doe is Nicole Hensen, a young woman who was fired mere days ago from a big corporation for not showing up for work.


But why do her colleagues claim they never had any dealings with her, and why would her employers rather fire her than look into her strange disappearance?


As Mansfield and his partner, Landers, delve into the sinister business of one of the richest and oldest families in the city, they find themselves blindsided by the darkness and secrets buried beneath its crushing wealth.


When it comes right down to it, the poor and the rich have one thing in common…


They would both do anything for money.
