Tanarielis City Detectives: Abducted

Book 1 in the Tanarielis City Detectives series

The client agreed far too easily to pay far too much.

That should have been the first warning.

Human detective Adrian Kellan and Aris, his AI partner, run a small detective agency in Tanarielis—a city that looks orderly only until you have to look beneath the surface. They have seen enough not to trust easy cases, generous fees, or desperate clients who tell only half the truth.

But the money is real. The case is urgent. And turning it down is not always the safest choice.

Within hours, the trail begins to lead toward Darknet—a parallel world built on deals, fear, and force, where everything has a price, including your freedom.

The deeper Adrian and Aris dig, the clearer it becomes that someone is not merely covering tracks. Someone is buying silence, setting traps, and clearing away anyone who asks the wrong questions.

Fast, dark, and sharply ironic, this near-future detective thriller—the first book in the Tanarielis City Detectives series—is for readers who enjoy dangerous investigations, unstable worlds, dry humor under pressure, and partners who survive not because they are lucky, but because they trust each other.
