Officer Ren Drake thought his days on the force were over, exiled to suspension with no intention of returning to the chaotic grind of police work. But when the call comes through to 'babysit' a rookie, Ren is dragged back to the Golden Horse station, partnered with Xavier Rutherford—a privileged, eager-to-please officer with more enthusiasm than sense.
Their first case? A murder that turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. A woman's body is found in her best friend's home, and it's the husband who dials 999. At first glance, the victim seems to have lived a typical life—until Ren starts digging. What he uncovers is far from the innocent image she portrayed. An adulterous affair. Hidden agendas. A complex web of betrayal and passion.
As Ren unravels the victim's twisted relationships, he realises this case isn't just about finding a killer—it's about understanding a victim with more enemies than friends. The closer Ren and Xavier get to the truth, the more dangerous the investigation becomes.
In The Adulterous Victim, nothing is what it seems. Every suspect has a motive, and even the dead keep their secrets. Can Ren crack the case before he's swallowed up by the lies, or will the past he's been running from finally catch up with him?
