Against the Law, Against My Heart
Cerys Blackwooder
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
The rain hammered against the grimy windows of the precinct like bullets, each drop a reminder that the world outside was as unforgiving as the one within these walls. Detective Elena Vasquez pulled her coat tighter around her shoulders as she stepped through the heavy glass doors, her heels clicking against the worn linoleum floor with a rhythm that spoke of determination and exhaustion in equal measure.
She had been working the Castellano case for eight months now, following a trail of blood money and broken bones through the underbelly of Chicago's most dangerous neighborhoods. The Castellano family had ruled the south side for three generations, their influence seeping into every corner of legitimate business like poison through clean water. But tonight, finally, she had something solid.
The evidence room buzzed with activity as forensics teams catalogued the mountain of materials seized from the raid on Vincent Castellano's warehouse. Photos, financial records, surveillance footage – all of it pointing to a criminal empire built on fear and violence. Elena should have felt victorious. Instead, she felt hollow.
"Vasquez!" Captain Morrison's voice cut through the noise like a blade. "My office. Now."
Elena made her way through the maze of desks and filing cabinets, past officers celebrating the biggest bust of their careers. Morrison's office was a cramped space that smelled of stale coffee and disappointment, the walls lined with commendations that had lost their shine years ago.
"Sit down," Morrison said, not looking up from the file spread across his desk. He was a man who had seen too much and believed in too little, his face carved with lines that told stories of compromises and casualties. "We've got a problem."
