ALTERA NOIR:
REMANENCE

CALDER BAY // FAR FUTURE // COMING SOON

When a new client walks into Adrian Sloane’s office asking him to investigate his own death, the veteran private investigator assumes there’s a rational explanation. Identity fraud. Corrupt records. A clerical mistake that somehow spiraled out of control.

But the deeper Sloane investigates, the less sense the evidence makes.
Official records document a murder. Forensic reports confirm the identity. Every explanation Sloane considers seems to create more questions than answers.

And then his client is murdered again.

Now Sloane has two deaths, one identity, and a growing suspicion that someone is determined to make the contradiction disappear.

As evidence vanishes and the people involved become increasingly difficult to reach, Sloane finds himself pursuing a truth that Calder Bay’s most powerful institutions seem unwilling to acknowledge.

Someone wanted Martin Hale dead. Twice.

And Adrian Sloane intends to find out why.
