BLACK TRACE
BLACK TRACE
In modern Italy, power does not rely on open violence.
It moves through institutions, intermediaries, and systems designed to protect themselves from accountability.
Ethan Cole survives by understanding that structure.
He does not seek justice or redemption. He studies how influence flows, where pressure fractures, and what it costs to remain unseen. With no superhuman strength or moral certainty, he relies on restraint, calculated aggression, and violence that is fast, deliberate, and permanent.
As criminal networks adapt and institutional forces recalibrate, Ethan is pushed into increasingly visible spaces where anonymity disappears and consequences compound. Survival is no longer about hiding—it is about choosing when, and how, to be seen.
BLACK TRACE is a dark, realistic crime thriller about systems that erase responsibility, violence that leaves lasting scars, and a man who becomes dangerous not because he wants control, but because he refuses to disappear.
In a world built to correct anomalies, Ethan becomes something the system cannot resolve.
A trace it must carry.
