The Black Dots, Part Two
The pharmaceuticals factory was something of a dinosaur, antiquated and larger-than-life at the same time. It loomed so ominously over the lake district that only the most desperate dared to visit. If there was a serial killer operating in its shadow, some of the more authoritarian city elders might have deemed it good for social welfare.
My sinking ship of a career cried out for me to catch the black dot killer, so I conducted the investigation alone.
Turns out I was right about the pharmaceuticals factory but wrong about the killer. The reality was even worse than I'd imagined.
