The Junction Protocol

The Junction Protocol

Every secret has a system. Every betrayal, a blueprint.

When a decorated detective discovers a coded file buried inside a murder victim’s phone, it sets off a chain reaction that threatens to unravel the city from within. For Detective Claire Dawson, the encrypted document—labeled The Junction Protocol—is more than evidence. It's a map of corruption, implicating some of the most powerful figures in Hollow Bay.

With danger closing in, Claire must partner with Elias Voss, a brooding ex-agent whose past is as classified as the file they’re chasing. As bodies drop and truths unravel, the pair find themselves hunted not just by criminals—but by their own department.

But The Junction Protocol holds more than political blackmail or financial fraud. It hides the truth about Claire’s own past… and the real reason she became a cop.

To survive, she must break every rule she swore to uphold—and decide whether justice is worth the cost of her soul.
