J S Warner: Measured Steps, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Ten interconnected cases. One devastating revelation.

Ten cases that will unravel everything. Forensic psychologist Claire Morrison, two years sober, hunts killers who weaponize truth: chalk equations proving death's inevitability, mirrors forcing final confrontations, tattoos marking hidden sins. Working with Detective Sara Martinez, she enters their minds while keeping her own demons at bay.

Case after case, Claire builds her reputation by understanding what others can't see. Victims posed with mirrors, forced to confront their unfiltered reflections in their final moments. Bodies marked with tattoos revealing their secrets, inked onto skin as permanent judgment. A mathematics professor surrounded by elaborate proofs that death is inevitable. Each killer believes they're revealing truth, stripping away the lies people hide behind. And Claire must decode their logic while staying sober.

Every crime scene tests her hard-won sobriety. Every clue brings her closer to a devastating truth she never saw coming.

Because one case isn't what it seems. It connects to her mother's disappearance twenty-six years ago, a tragedy Claire was told stemmed from mental illness. But her mother's mental illness was a lie. She was silenced. And the conspiracy that destroyed Claire's childhood is still active, still deadly, and led by someone she never suspected.

Now Claire must solve brutal crimes, find her missing mother, and confront the person who shattered her family, all while fighting the urge to drink that threatens to consume her with every revelation. In a world where killers weaponize truth and family bonds mask betrayal, staying sober might be the hardest case she ever cracks.

A psychological thriller about addiction, corruption, and the lies that break us
