Previously

…Isabella took a long drag from her cigarette, the smoke coiling and dissipating into the night air. She had solved the Pink Palace Murders. She had brought a killer to justice. But she knew, with a certainty that settled deep within her bones, that the most profound mystery of all remained unsolved, locked away behind Sofia Ramirez’s enigmatic gaze. The case was over, but the questions, like the lingering scent of jasmine on a warm night, would continue to haunt her. The crimson stain might fade, but the memory of the pink palace, and the woman who had danced in its shadows, would remain.
