New York, the city that never sleeps, is a stage of dazzling lights and deep shadows. Its skyscrapers soar into the sky, defying gravity, while its streets teem with life, a ceaseless flow of people from every corner of the globe. It is a metropolis that enchants and seduces, a melting pot of cultures and aspirations, where art, fashion, finance and crime intertwine in a complex and fascinating tapestry. In this urban labyrinth, Commissioner Michael Brennan moves, a man of steel and a heart of ice. His years of service in the New York police left a profound mark on him, leaving wrinkles on his face that tell stories of violence, corruption and desperation. His eyes, once blue and lively, are now dull and disillusioned, as if they had seen too much, experienced too much. But beneath his hard exterior, hides a man tormented by the ghosts of the past, a man seeking redemption in a world that seems to have lost every glimmer of hope. Brennan is a lone wolf, an outsider who trusts no one except his faithful four-legged companion, Thor. Thor is a Doberman with pitch-black fur and eyes that shine with intelligence and loyalty. He is Brennan's shadow, his animal alter ego, a tireless hunter who senses danger and pursues criminals with relentless tenacity. Thor is more than just a police dog, he is the only living being capable of understanding the pain and anger that stir in Brennan's soul. Together, Brennan and Thor form a formidable couple, a man-dog duo that inspires fear in criminals and hope in honest citizens. Their adventures take them into the darkest corners of the city, from the dark alleys of Harlem to the luxurious penthouses of Manhattan, from the seedy clubs of the Bronx to the abandoned docks of Brooklyn. The story you are about to read begins in a New York shaken by a series of brutal murders that have thrown the city into panic.

But the hunt for the surgeon will not just be a question of clues and evidence, it will also be a journey into the abyss of the human soul, a path of pain and redemption for Brennan, who will have to deal with his own internal demons, the wounds of past that still bleed, the fear and anger that devour him.
