About the book
Dr. Theo Cray, a brilliant computational biologist turned serial-killer hunter, is drawn into a chilling new mystery. When the FBI calls him to investigate a forensic technician who committed a brutal murder but remembers nothing, Cray uncovers something far more disturbing—an abnormal MRI scan and a stalker lurking at crime scenes.
As Cray digs deeper, he discovers a terrifying theory: someone is manipulating others into murder, using science to create killers. With time running out, Cray must confront a darker version of himself—an elusive scientist obsessed with pathological behavior, not to catch killers, but to make them.
Will Cray stop him before more lives are destroyed?

About the book
"Badass by birth. Drifter by choice. Vigilante because justice requires it."
Son of a controversial Navy SEAL—raised to survive a societal collapse that never came—Nate Vigil roams the heart of America restoring justice to victims of con men, criminals, and the corrupt. He's found a calling, but can he find redemption?
IN THIS ADVENTURE...
When a wind farm worker is gunned down on the job, the County Sheriff agrees with the locals and deems it an accident:
“Wrong place, wrong time.”
But to Vigil, it looks like murder. And he says so.
Bluntly.
Not that it’s any of his business. He’s just passing through...
At least until three thugs with Brooklyn accents try to run him out of town.
Now they've made it his business.
Big mistake.
Vigil figures they’re covering something up. But what?
The beautiful and deadly Mira Getty—who claims to be a private investigator for an insurance company—wants the answer even worse than he does. But why is she so intent on enlisting Vigil’s help? And who is she really? Because she’s too good with a gun to be working for GEICO. That’s for damn sure.
There are secrets buried beneath the wind generators in Carlin, Texas. Worth billions to an evil man if he can keep them hidden. The only problem? He didn’t count on Vigil showing up.

One of Crime Reads' Best Gothic Novels of 2024
In this Southern gothic horror debut, a young Black woman abandons her life in 1960s Chicago for a position with a mysterious family in New Orleans, only to discover the dark truth: They’re under a curse, and they think she can break it.
In the fall of 1962, twenty-seven-year-old Jemma Barker is desperate to escape her life in Chicago—and the spirits she has always been able to see. When she receives an unexpected job offer from the Duchon family in New Orleans, she accepts, thinking it is her chance to start over.
But Jemma discovers that the Duchon family isn’t what it seems. Light enough to pass as white, the Black family members look down on brown-skinned Jemma. Their tenuous hold on reality extends to all the members of their eccentric clan, from haughty grandmother Honorine to beautiful yet inscrutable cousin Fosette. And soon the shocking truth comes out: The Duchons are under a curse. And they think Jemma has the power to break it.
As Jemma wrestles with the gift she’s run from all her life, she unravels deeper and more disturbing secrets about the mysterious Duchons. Secrets that stretch back over a century. Secrets that bind her to their fate if she fails.
