The Raven's Call: A Frozen Evidence Prequel

Before Quinn Callahan. Before the frozen crime scenes of Alaska. Before he became the detective who worked alone, Erik Thorn was an FBI agent who believed in the system.

Then Victoria Clark was kidnapped.

Erik knew where she was. Knew who had taken her. Knew they were running out of time. But the warrant took three days. Three days of following protocol while Victoria Clark suffered in darkness.

By the time they found her, she was dead.

The killer left a message: "This was a test. You failed."

His name is The Architect, and Victoria's death was just the beginning. He's been studying Erik for years, orchestrating scenarios designed to break down his faith in rules, in procedure, in everything Erik once believed about justice.

Shattered and guilt-ridden, Erik resigns from the FBI and retreats to Alaska, where he can work alone, trust only his instincts, and never again watch someone die while he waits for permission to save them.

But The Architect has followed him north.

Carved wooden ravens appear at Erik's crime scenes, silent proof that he's still being watched, still being tested, still being molded into something darker. Text messages arrive from untraceable numbers, praising Erik's isolation, encouraging his transformation.

"You're becoming what you were meant to be."

Five years of this game. Five years of Erik working alone, trusting no one, building walls that keep everyone out. Five years of carrying Victoria Clark's death like both wound and armor.

Until Quinn Callahan walks into his life with a case that will force Erik to choose: remain the isolated hunter The Architect created, or risk connection and face the consequences.

The Raven's Call is the prequel that reveals how a good man became a haunted detective, and how a brilliant killer has been pulling the strings all along.
