A Slippery Shadow

When a routine insurance investigation into a fast-food slip-and-fall spirals, private operative Frank Heller finds himself tailing a suspected fraudster — only to realize a ghostly silhouette is tailing him in return. Trapped overnight in a locked Rodeo Burger in the decaying town of Falls Creek, New Albion, hunter and hunted converge in a claustrophobic deadlock. The truth they unearth is not a masterful crime, but a clumsy tapestry of missed warnings, corporate paranoia, and catastrophic bad luck, revealing that the most perfect schemes are often born from sheer, blind incompetence.
