Some cold cases aren’t just unsolved. They are quarantined.
Detective Elias Thorne’s brilliant mind is his greatest weapon, but it is also his most dangerous flaw. Driven by a relentless, suffocating need to solve the unsolvable, Elias uncovers a forty-year-old ledger belonging to a disgraced, institutionalized cop. Inside the frantic scribbles is a map to an impossible temporal anomaly—a geographic glitch hidden deep within the city’s rusted infrastructure.
But reality is a fragile architecture, and Elias is violently pulling at the load-bearing threads.
As his obsession spirals out of control, the investigation begins to cost him everything. He sacrifices his badge, isolates himself in cheap motel rooms, and shatters his once-peaceful marriage to his wife, Sarah. But the deeper Elias digs into the impossible parameters of the anomaly, the more he realizes he isn’t just solving a puzzle.
He has triggered an audit.
Stalked by an ancient, cosmic executioner taking the unnerving form of a blinding white rabbit, Elias is forced into a terrifying psychological cross-examination. The entity has not come to offer answers or solve the case. It has come to test his hubris, issue strict warnings, and judge whether his mind is willing to let the mystery go—or if his timeline needs to be permanently severed.
The Ivory Descent is a gripping, mind-bending psychological thriller where gritty detective noir collides with a terrifying multiversal bureaucracy. It is the thrilling first installment in The Lepori System series.
Every obsession has a cosmic price. Will you survive the cross-examination?
