After Dark cover

In After Dark, a world where women hold power faces a shocking murder, challenging the safety promised by the Curfew law and unraveling dark secrets.

In a world transformed by a radical shift in power dynamics, After Dark explores a society where women reign supreme in every aspect of life. With the introduction of the Curfew law, men are mandated to remain indoors after 7 PM, allowing women to navigate their environments without fear. This societal change brings a sense of safety and empowerment, but it also sets the stage for unforeseen consequences. The narrative begins to unravel when a woman is found murdered late at night, and the investigation reveals that she may have known her attacker. The twist? The Curfew tag worn by men offers them an alibi, raising unsettling questions about trust and safety in this new world order.

As the plot thickens, After Dark delves into the complexities of relationships and the darker sides of human nature. The story captures the tension between empowerment and vulnerability, forcing characters and readers alike to confront their assumptions about gender roles and safety. The investigation into the murder becomes a gripping exploration of what happens when the rules change, and the implications of those changes ripple through society.

With its thought-provoking themes and engaging narrative, After Dark is not just a murder mystery; it is a commentary on contemporary issues that resonate deeply. As the characters navigate a world where safety is a double-edged sword, the book keeps readers on the edge of their seats, pondering the true meaning of power and protection.
