My criminal Detective
Updated at Sep 17, 2026, 22:01
* Detective *Adrian Vale* - New York’s golden boy. Respected. Feared. Untouchable. 3 years ago he covered up a murder he committed. The only loose end: a single earring left at the scene. He reopens the cold case on purpose. To find who’s holding the clue. To kill them. Instead he finds *Isla Romano* - 24, feisty, barista by day, art student by night. She has the earring. She doesn’t know what it means. Yet. He doesn’t kill her. He falls. Dates. Clubs in Manhattan. Friends. Fiancés. Sex. Until she finds out he killed her 16-year-old cousin, Marco. She threatens him with the only weapon she has: his unborn child. He turns himself in. 5 years. Last words in court: _"I am coming back, mi amore."_ She flees to Mexico to start over with their daughter. 3 years later he’s out. No longer a detective. Now the most powerful Mafia Don in Europe. Handsome. Ruthless. Everyone bows. He hunts them. Watches. Waits. Her daughter gets sick. Isla has no choice but to return to Italy. He’s waiting with one offer she can’t refuse
