DETECTIVE FERNANDEZ

Detective Fernandez is a private investigator in the 1940s. Every year, during the same quiet week, he visits his oldest friend to escape the city’s noise and the weight of his cases. It’s a ritual—cards, whiskey, and memories of better days. But this year is different. Before the week is over, a body turns up. The peaceful tradition is shattered by a murder that shouldn’t have happened—one that might never have happened if Fernandez hadn’t come at all.Detective Fernandez is a private investigator in the 1940s.
