Perfect clearance rate. Iron control. Detective Blackburn commands New Dresden’s Homicide Division like a predator in a badge. Her reputation keeps her feared, desired, and always in control.
When reporter Brynn Cassidy harasses Blackburn’s former submissive and starts investigating the department’s controversial new AI crime prevention program, her carefully constructed world begins to crack. The Stan Raider Group promises their autonomous vehicles will predict and prevent murders—threatening to make homicide detectives obsolete, including the job that gives Blackburn’s life meaning and control.
As pressure mounts from all sides—her fractious detective squad, a mysterious stalker who knows her secrets, and resurfacing desires she thought long buried—Blackburn discovers that maintaining control might not be enough. Someone is watching from the shadows of New Dresden’s streets, and they’re getting closer to everything she holds dear.
Command and Control – A noir thriller where power, technology, and desire collide in a game where even the perfect detective can lose command.
