New Release
The debut novel from William E. Crosby.
Detective Clay Fuller has spent his career chasing justice, but his biggest challenge may be waiting in the small hometown he thought he knew better than anyone. When a series of brutal murders shocks the community, Clay and his longtime partner and best friend, Detective Leonard Henderson, are assigned to hunt down a killer who always seems to be one step ahead.
The two detectives couldn't be more different. Leonard is a steady family man whose calm judgment keeps him grounded, while Clay is a talented but volatile investigator whose anger and impulsive decisions often put him at odds with his superiors. Together, they've solved countless cases, but this one threatens to push their friendship—and their careers—to the breaking point.
As the body count rises, the investigation uncovers secrets buried deep within the town's past. Old grudges, hidden betrayals, and long-forgotten connections reveal that the murders are far more personal than anyone imagined. The closer Clay and Leonard get to the truth, the more they realize that the answers may lie in events that many people have spent years trying to forget.
At the same time, Clay finds himself pursuing something he has long avoided: a meaningful relationship. But balancing his personal life with an increasingly dangerous investigation proves difficult, especially as his temper and reckless instincts threaten to destroy everything he's worked for.
With time running out and another victim always at risk, Clay and Leonard must confront the ghosts of the past before a relentless killer claims more lives. In a case that will test their courage, loyalty, and friendship, they discover that some secrets never stay buried—and the past doesn't always stay in the mirror.
