The Man in the Black Umbrella
When the rain never stops, the city remembers its secrets. Detective Samuel Dorsey thought he’d seen it all—until Clara Reynolds arrived with a soaked note and a story of her missing brother. The only clue: “Don’t forget the umbrella.”
What starts as a routine case plunges Dorsey into the shadows of a secret society—the Men Under Rain—who have controlled the city’s wealth and silence for decades. Every answer points to one haunting symbol: the black umbrella.
Caught between the storm outside and the one closing in, Dorsey must decide how far he’ll go for the truth—and how much of himself he’s willing to lose.
A dark, atmospheric noir about power, secrecy, and the price of uncovering what was never meant to be found.
