The Shadows of Empty Men

A haunted heiress. A ruthless cabal. A detective racing to save her from a seemingly supernatural threat.

What starts as a routine case for Adam Park quickly spirals into something far darker. Tasked with verifying an ailing young heiress’s family tree, Adam expects nothing more than a brief distraction from his quiet life on a Greek island. But when a powerful cabal lays claim to her fortune, it’s clear someone is willing to kill for control — and they’ve called in a shadowy assassin known as the Pale Boy to eliminate anyone in their way.

As Adam digs deeper, he uncovers a horrifying link between the girl’s illness and an ancient curse tied to Porajmos — the Romani genocide inflicted by Nazi Germany. Some believe she’s possessed by a vengeful spirit, and as Adam unravels the truth, he’s forced to question whether he’s facing cold-blooded killers — or something far worse.

Adam must outwit the cabal, battle a mercenary with near supernatural skill, and confront the darkness within himself. If he fails, a decades-old secret will remain buried — and the Pale Boy will come for them both.
