Cold Proof: The Only Evidence Left Was a Wallet

When crypto tycoon Anton Varga is found savagely murdered in his luxury condo, there are no witnesses, no suspects-only a blood-slick hardware wallet left under his couch. Detective Raymond Mercer is called in to investigate, but what begins as a brutal, tech-tinged homicide soon spirals into something far more personal.

The deeper Mercer digs into Varga's inner circle-brilliant but paranoid cofounders, a grieving widow hiding fractures, and a cryptic past erased from all records-the more the lines blur between justice and guilt. Varga's encrypted ledger may hold millions in stolen cryptocurrency, but it also conceals something more dangerous: memories no one was meant to survive.

As old names surface and buried files resurrect themselves, Mercer begins to suspect he's not just chasing a killer-he's retracing a sequence he himself unknowingly helped execute. With the city watching and the blockchain unraveling secrets in real time, the investigation turns inward, revealing truths too devastating to ignore.

What if the person solving the crime is the one who made it possible?

And what if memory is the final weapon?
