Basic Instinct

Catherine, a woman who craved passion with an intensity that bordered on obsession, found herself at the center of a police investigation. Her boyfriend, Julian, lay dead, the victim of a savage attack that mirrored a scene ripped from the pages of her latest novel. The manuscript, titled “Dangerous Desires,” had just been completed, its pages filled with a dark exploration of forbidden love and deadly consequences. Now, with the lines between fiction and reality blurred, Detective Miller scrutinized Catherine. Was she a heartbroken lover seeking solace in her craft, or a cunning manipulator who’d penned a blueprint for murder? The chilling coincidence cast a long shadow, turning Catherine’s world into a labyrinth of suspicion and deceit.
