The Phantom 83 pp.

On a freezing November night in Antwerp, Tom Andiers is waiting for one last chance to clear his name. Once a respected journalist, his career and family now lie in ruins following a devastating scandal.

A mysterious email from ‘The Phantom’, an elusive contract killer who has evaded Belgian and international justice for twenty years, promises an exclusive interview. It is a story that could either save Tom’s life or destroy it forever.

Inside a luxury suite at the Radisson Blu Hotel Astrid, Tom comes face-to-face with Vincent: a charismatic yet deadly man with a past forged in blood and shadows.

As the night unfolds, Vincent exposes his horrific history. Each chilling tale drags Tom deeper into a world of vengeance and betrayal, where the line between guilt and innocence blurs.

But as the truth finally surfaces, a terrifying question remains: can Tom survive this darkness and conquer his own demons, or is he destined to become just another shadow in Vincent’s endless night?
