Meet Dax Corvo: The Man Who Tastes the Truth

In a city of secrets and lies, some crimes are too strange, too perfect, too impossible for traditional police work. When the clues make no sense, when the murder weapon is invisible, and when the killer is a ghost, they don't call a detective. They call Dax Corvo.

He experiences them.

• A lie isn't just a falsehood; it has a taste
• A hidden emotion, like a killer's rage or a victim's fear
• The echo of a violent act doesn't just fade; it leaves behind a sound

His adventure:

• The Echo of Drowning: How do you find a killer when the victim drowned in a perfectly dry, hermetically sealed room?
• The Silence of the Marionettes: A beloved philanthropist is found dead, surrounded by posed puppets.
• A Taste of Deceit: A celebrity chef collapses and dies on live television, his symptoms screaming poison.
• The Color of a Lie: A faceless entity named Janus begins exposing the city's darkest secrets, leading to a wave of public suicides.
• The Sound of a Closed Circle: Lured to a remote, snowbound resort, Dax finds himself trapped with the five people responsible for his downfall.
