Read an excerpt:
"The explosion was unlike anything Munk had ever heard before. It wasn't just a noise; it was a vibration that passed through his body, a force that made the air tremble and the ground give way beneath his feet. For a few seconds, the world around him turned white, a blank canvas of dust and debris falling like rain onto the pavement.
When the dust began to settle, the silence that followed was even more terrifying than the blast itself. The people around him stood motionless, like statues in a macabre performance, trying to understand what had happened. Munk felt adrenaline rushing through his veins, the old instinct of a policeman awakening within the chaos.
He looked toward the fire and immediately understood that this was no random accident. It was a message, a declaration of war in the heart of the city, and he knew this was only the beginning of a nightmarish journey that had just begun."
