Description
A charismatic and deeply sociopathic teenager commits a brutal murder, then spends the next four years evading justice while those who know the truth struggle with fear, guilt, and complicity. When Detective Charlie Schilling and his former partner reopen the case, Ray’s carefully protected world begins to tighten around him—just as a volatile new relationship threatens to unleash his darkest impulses. Inspired by the true story of serial killer Charles Schmid, this psychological horror novel explores moral corruption, predatory charisma, and the devastating consequences of silence. Unflinching and atmospheric, it showcases a stark, confrontational style that probes the banality of evil and the fragility of ordinary lives.
