The Latent Identities Of Darwin
In a society where identity is a precarious balance between truth and illusion Darwin Asrael grapples with a unique curse: his skin, sensitive to the sun, binds him to the overlooked niches of the public. When he encounters his doppelgänger, Gabriel, He is unexpectedly introduced to the clandestine Hemlock organization. He becomes an unlikely detective, solving crimes as night descends, and leaving Gabriel to perform his role in daylight. But as Darwin investigates a series of chilling murders linked to a mysterious author who documents crime, he unveils layers of deception, drawing Darwin deeper into a web of intrigue where nothing is as it seems. As he follows into the trails of these narratives, he begins to doubt his own identity, realizing the stories may be more intertwined with his existence than he ever imagined. Trust erodes among allies, and paranoia looms large as he is torn between the possibility that anyone could be him.
Darwin must decide how far he’s willing to go to differentiate himself from generations of murderers who transcended their existence by publishing anecdotes of their killings.
