Tales of the Time

Indigenous murders. Art theft. Political mayhem. A duped widow.

Tom Belmont’s destiny is to join Express Investigations, but when he arrives in Hollywood, he’s quickly dismissed by head honcho Lorenzo Várlumo. Tom won’t take no for an answer, so Várlumo proposes a test: solve a baffling case and endure a group interview at Roberto’s Conga Cabaret.

The team regales him with their favorite cases to evaluate his skills: Andy’s investigation into a gang of thieves who will change his world; EI’s first case ever that pit Várlumo and Trix against a dangerous con-man; Squint’s search for a missing girl that led him to Express Investigations; and the moment Tom knew he was fated for more than dead bodies.

In this gripping prequel, hear the tales that forged Express Investigations—and the investigators—into a force to be reckoned with.
