Meraqî is no ordinary detective. Called upon only by respected law enforcement agencies, both local and international, he takes on the most complex murder cases. His true identity remains a mystery; few know much about him at all. For Meraqî, every murder is a perfect crime—a dark instinct buried deep within human nature, leftover from humanity’s ancient hunter-gatherer days. He believes that while everyone carries some measure of a killer’s spirit, only a rare few possess the keen talents of a murder detective. True to his reputation, Meraqî solves each case within a week. His signature mark: severing the little toe of the culprit and preserving it in his eerie collection. He is the modern embodiment of the classic detective myth.
