A CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED
The body of Mr. Adrian Clarke, a prominent Auckland architect, has been discovered on Mount Victoria in Devonport.
The Devonport Community is in shock.
Clarke was the visionary behind a controversial plan to intensify Devonport, replacing heritage villas and historic buildings with sleek apartment blocks and skyscrapers.
The village is divided. Some saw progress. Others saw betrayal. Public meetings turned ugly, council chambers filled with fury, and old neighbours became sworn enemies.
There are whispers of corruption, revenge, and secret deals echo through the streets.
There are twelve suspects, five potential weapons, and not a single alibi that holds. The police are overwhelmed. The public demands justice.
