Description
Dark Alley is a narrative noir thriller set in Kyoto. Detective Thomas Bennett investigates the disappearance of a British agent, only to collide with the Yakuza, a shadowy conspiracy, and a truth that should never surface.
History
Dark Alley is a standalone case within the Detective Bennett: Solved Cases saga, a cinematic narrative thriller with psychological tension and dry, noir humor. Kyoto, 2013. A British detective vanishes without a trace. London sends Thomas Bennett to close the case quietly. But Kyoto doesn’t do “quiet.” Beneath red lanterns and rain-slicked alleys, Bennett finds a city built on rituals, secrets… and people willing to kill to protect them. What starts as a missing-person investigation spirals into a dangerous web involving the Dragon Vein Yakuza, a mysterious informant, and a cold institutional presence that watches every step Bennett takes. The deeper you go through nightclubs, temples, bamboo forests and mirrored corridors, the more mystery arise around the case… until the question isn’t who took Hale, but why the truth was never meant to survive.
