The Wormwood Murders

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Back in the late 19th century, long before the FBI came into existence, there was a prototype program known as Project Inferno in which revered investigators were partnered with criminal-coded individuals to solve mysteries across the country. The Wormwood Murders details the eleventh investigation of Inspector Eleanor Darcy and her partner, Inspector Harris McKenzie. This case was unlike anything the duo had seen before. A series of killings that were meticulous, premeditated, and highly irregular.

Preface

The following information comes from entries provided by Inspector Eleanor Darcy and her partner, Inspector Harris McKenzie. Both were agents with Project Inferno during the late 19th century.

Project Inferno was an experimental program overseen by several prominent political figures. It would be adapted into the Bureau of Investigation (BOI) by Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte before coming under the management of Attorney General George W. Wickersham in 1909. The Bureau of Investigation would later become what we now know as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

This forerunner experimental program, known as Project Inferno, aligned renowned detectives with criminal-coded individuals to assist local police departments across America. Since it transitioned into a more legitimate agency, Project Inferno has been forgotten due to its morally questionable decisions and lack of government regulation.

The following entries from Inspector Darcy and Inspector McKenzie detail a brief glimpse of how this program functioned. These entries have been updated to adhere to contemporary English. Translation errors have been accounted for, but the story remains relatively the same nonetheless.

Legally, this piece must be promoted as fictitious. Everything you are about to read may or may not have happened. The final verdict will be left up to the reader’s interpretation to determine the validity of these events.

Every moment you write has a lot of emotion and depth. It feels like a story that could also be seen, not just read. Have you thought about how it would look as a comic?
