Writer needed for a Psychological Crime Thriller
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
Looking for a writer who is intrigued by and committed to mastering their craft in a psychological crime thriller. Initial intentions were to set this up as a new Kindle Vella series, structured similarly to an episode released in a TV show. This would allow the writer to work at a periodic pace and not have to complete the entire story up front. However, I am open to allowing the writer to do a novel instead if they find it better suited for the content. Title and summary listed below and linked in attachment.
Title: "Shadows of Reflection"
Summary:
"Shadows of Reflection" is a gripping psychological crime thriller that delves into the intricate mind of Damon Hawkins, a respected private investigator with a haunting past. Drawing inspiration from acclaimed TV shows like "Luther" and "True Detective," this compelling narrative follows Damon's relentless pursuit of the truth in a world consumed by shadows.
Haunted by the unsolved mystery of his own daughter's disappearance, Damon has spent years trying to escape his past. But when he is approached by Mrs. Elizabeth Thornton, a desperate mother seeking answers about her missing daughter, Lilly, Damon's resolve is put to the test. Reluctant to delve into missing person cases due to his personal tragedy, he initially declines the request. However, a chance encounter with an old friend and former partner, Detective Sarah Matthews, reignites a fire within him, leading Damon to reconsider.
The story weaves between past and present, exploring Damon's former life as a detective, where he garnered a reputation for solving complex cases. However, his daughter's abduction marked a turning point, causing a rift between Damon and the police department. Damon's fractured psyche is plagued by memories, flashbacks, and the burden of unanswered questions surrounding his daughter's fate.
As Damon battles his own demons, Lilly's case becomes increasingly entangled with his own haunting past. The search for the truth leads Damon into the heart of the city's underbelly, where he uncovers a web of secrets, betrayal, and dark motivations. Each step closer to the truth unravels a sinister tapestry of crime, pushing Damon to the edge of his sanity.
Throughout the narrative, subtle hints of Damon's schizophrenia emerge, manifesting in delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized thoughts. These elements add an intriguing layer of suspense, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. Damon's internal struggle becomes an integral part of the story, leaving readers questioning the reliability of his perceptions and the ultimate truth.
"Shadows of Reflection" is an immersive and thought-provoking exploration of a tormented investigator's quest for redemption and closure.
