Detective Alexandra Reyes thought she buried the worst night of her life the day she watched the woman she loved bleed out on cold pavement.
The shooter was locked away.
The file was closed.
The grief was sealed behind discipline and silence.
Until the notes started appearing.
A body staged like a message.
A whisper on a dead phone line.
A single sentence written in ink:
"How have you been, Al?"
The killer isn’t running.
He’s orchestrating.
Every move is deliberate. Every clue personal. Every victim placed like a step in a ritual only he understands.
And when investigative reporter Sheila Morgan starts asking questions no one else dares to ask, she becomes more than a witness.
She becomes relevant.
Sharp-minded. Unafraid. Too perceptive for her own safety.
She sees through Alex’s armor.
She refuses to step back.
She stands too close.
Now the killer has noticed her.
What begins as a case spirals into something far more dangerous — a psychological game rooted in the past Alex thought she understood. But buried deep in an old case file lies a detail she never finished reading.
And that missing page may have cost her everything.
As obsession tightens its grip, Alex is forced to confront a terrifying truth:
The first woman she lost wasn’t the real target.
And the one she’s starting to fall for might be next.
In a city where shadows move before footsteps and love becomes leverage, one question remains—
When the final choice comes…
Who will she save?
