Set against the neon-lit nights of Tokyo and the rain-drenched streets of Seattle, the novel follows Detective Haruto Sakamoto and FBI agent Eliza Thornton as they hunt down a mysterious killer known as The Architect.
Each murder is not just a crime—it is a carefully crafted masterpiece, a twisted performance that leaves behind cryptic messages about beauty, chaos, and immortality. As the investigators delve deeper into the mind of The Architect, they uncover a hidden world where death is considered the ultimate form of artistic expression.
But with each step closer to the truth, the boundary between hunter and hunted begins to fade. In a race against time, Haruto and Eliza must decipher the killer’s dark philosophy before his final masterpiece is complete.
A gripping tale of obsession, mystery, and the terrifying power of art, Shadows Across the Pacific challenges the very definition of beauty—and the cost of its pursuit.
Tokyo - under the relentless monsoon rain - felt like a living, breathing entity, exhaling the damp scent of concrete and soil. Detective Haruto Sakamoto stood, contemplating the city's ever-changing skyline, lost in the rhythmic patter of droplets that splattered against his coat.
A ring pierced the stillness of the night.
"Sakamoto," the voice on the other end rasped, as though drenched in an unseen fog. "The Architect. Another one."
His heart sank. The Architect - the notorious figure whose gruesome handiwork had already claimed several lives across the city. Each murder, meticulous and horrifying in its execution, left behind more than just a victim. It left behind a statement - a grotesque masterpiece painted with blood.
His fingers gripped the phone tightly. "I'm on my way."
The weight of what awaited him was clear. This was no ordinary case. This was art, this was madness, this was destruction. It had to be stopped before it spiraled beyond repair
