Story
When visiting New York, Lara Croft is arrested by Detective Sara Pezzini of the NYPD when she gets mixed up in a monster attack that leaves one Vincent Scarponi dead.
Lately it seems that I'm the one Siry sends to these bizarre crime scenes. I must be the Mulder and Scully of the NYDP.
— Sara Pezzini, Page 11
Lara reveals to Sara that all began when she was commissioned to retrieve a talisman with an black pearl, that is believed to be a wellspring of immortality, for Lucas Moralto from a labyrinth in the ruins of Hal Saflieni, Malta, three months earlier. When returning the artefact Moralto, a 90-year-old friend of the late Lord Henshingly Croft, it turns out, that he does not intend to simply prolong his life, but instead wants to carry out a vendetta against the Scarponi family.
The victims in these pictures are actually descendants of a crime family that has been disbanded to 50 years. This family, the Scarponis, had a war with a rival family, of course, the Moraltos, that all but annihilated the both of them.
