About the book
She’s days away from execution—for killing a man who might still be alive.
Talia Kemper is on death row, convicted of murdering her husband. No motive. No confession. Just a life-sentence and a clock running out. She’s always claimed she was innocent—until now, no one cared.
But during a routine visitation, Talia sees someone she shouldn’t. Someone impossible. The man she’s accused of killing is alive. Or he has a twin. Or she’s finally lost her grip on reality.
As time slips away and no one believes her, Talia must uncover the truth—or die with it.

A killer is about to die. But his final words may expose a deeper evil.
Forensic psychologist Callum Kilkenny thought he’d finally caught the man who murdered his wife. Nathaniel Conrad—The Alphabet Man—is on death row, convicted of tattooing his victims with coded letters. But just before his execution, Nathaniel claims he didn’t kill Shay.
FBI forensic linguist Raisa Susanto sees something others missed. The letters don’t match. The patterns are off. And if Nathaniel didn’t do it… then someone else did.
Now, Raisa and Callum are chasing a ghost—one who might still be killing. As old traumas resurface and the case twists into darker territory, one thing becomes clear: the truth they’re chasing is built on lies.
And the killer they missed may be watching them both.

About the book
Everyone dies eventually. But not before they talk to Jack Steen.
On the death ward of an asylum for the criminally insane, Jack isn’t just a night nurse—he’s the last audience for society’s most twisted minds. Their price for a painless end? One final, brutal confession.
But these aren’t bedtime stories. These are tales soaked in blood and soaked in lies. Patient 424 killed for family. Patient 983 says she’s a perfect mom. One’s a wannabe mobster. One raised pigs—and nightmares.
Jack wants the truth. The killers want control. And what starts as a twisted game of words turns into something darker: a manipulation of the mind, a descent into madness, and a warning you’ll be too late to heed.
The killers are confessing. But are they telling the truth—or rewriting it?
