Murky Shadows

Write about a detective’s darkest investigation where the victim and the offender are not apparent.

In the shadowy, ambiguous realm of crime fiction, the classic detective case is not always straightforward – sometimes the victim and the perpetrator are obscure, their roles blurred. Write about a detective entwined in such troublesome investigation which challenges his perception of right and wrong. This prompt pushes you to explore moral ambivalence, psychological complexity and the layered depths of human nature.
