The story

Benson, the world's most celebrated criminologist, has walked away from a career that made him both feared and revered. Known for his ice-cold logic and ruthless efficiency in tracking down criminals, Benson now lives in seclusion, his home as barren as the heart within him. His withdrawal from public life follows a private heartbreak—his fiancée, Stella, had left him, repulsed by his remorseless pursuit of crime over compassion.
