Chameleon
Detective Zen Arkady has currently closed a case in Pearl River, New York, of some random acts of violence. Within the last few years of his career, he had immersed himself into the most difficult of cases in order to forget his father, whom currently resides in a special security mental institution. His family had been in shambles when his father's dissociative personality disorder had emerged. Like the flipping of a switch, his father had become a completely different person, attempting to kill the entire family. Since that incident and the extraction of his father from his home, at the age of ten, he had to help care for his sister as his mother worked. Taking only the most difficult and obscure cases of murderers in the field was the only way he could avoid his family and their concern for his sanity. The job required long hours and extraneous dedication which meant he often chose his cases over sleep and personal relationships. A sudden murder in his hometown brought him back home to his mother and sister in the hopes of catching the killer before anyone else is hurt. The next series of deaths included his sister's childhood friend whom he saw grow up. The case had now become personal as his sister goes missing the very next night. His partner begins to comment on Zen's strange mannerisms and forgetfulness, bringing only more stress into his life. The life that he had built seemed to be closing in around him. In the toughest case yet, will Detective Arkady be able to save his sister or are the clues hidden too deep within himself?
