Synopsis

[CRIME/OMEGAVERSE] Was it possible for the devil to get his own happy ending? A major accident seven years ago had stolen He Juan’s memory away from him, wiping it so clean that the only things he was left with were only his name, numerous scars all over his body and a nasty side effect as a result of the aftermath. Seven years passed by and when He Juan thought he could live like a normal person again, a fateful day led him to be the prime suspect of the murder case of his neighbor who had written his name as her dying message — whom, in his defense, he had not even talked to! It was then that he met Mu Yuze, the lone wolf of the Violent Crime Investigation Unit; the cold, intimidating man with beautiful and intense midnight blue eyes who seemed to hate him at first sight for some reason He Juan couldn’t comprehend. One after another, bizarre cases intruded on He Juan's normal life and turned it upside down, bringing light to a dusty past he thought he could never remember again. In the end, he had to learn that even if he had forgotten who he once was… there were still some sins he had to atone. *** Gentle, klutzy and smiling Alpha whom nobody dares to offend for some mysterious reason x cold, possessive and cinnamon roll Omega (maybe a little yandere here and there) Additional tags: top/gong/seme protagonist, action, case-solving, organized crime, thriller, gore, slice of life, tragedy, detectives, disabled characters, murders, teamwork, investigation, yaoi, mature, past plays a big part, 1 vs 1, love interest falls in love first Find me on: Instagram: delanasiwarka Discord: delanasiwarka#1490 Discord server: bit.ly/delanadiscord

One characteristic is their gritty and realistic portrayal of the urban environment. Himes often sets his stories in tough, inner - city neighborhoods, which adds a sense of authenticity. His characters are complex, not just the typical heroes and villains. For example, his detective protagonists often have their own flaws and moral ambiguities. Another aspect is the exploration of race relations within the context of crime and detection. His novels were among the first to show the African - American experience in the detective genre in a deep and nuanced way.

Sure. 'Cotton Comes to Harlem' is highly recommended. In this novel, Himes presents a vivid picture of Harlem life while also spinning a web of mystery around the disappearance of a bale of cotton that is supposed to bring prosperity to the black community. 'A Rage in Harlem' is another gem. It follows the misadventures of characters involved in a complex scheme that includes love, money, and betrayal. And 'Blind Man with a Pistol' is also worth reading. It has the same kind of hard - boiled detective elements combined with Himes' unique take on the African - American experience in a crime - ridden environment.
