CALLIBER
Some monsters hide behind masks.
Others hide behind smiles.
At twenty-four years old, Elias Mercer lives an ordinary life. He works long warehouse shifts, spends his weekends with coworkers, and returns home each night to a tiny apartment where an impatient orange tabby waits for dinner.
To everyone around him, he's quiet.
Polite.
Forgettable.
But when darkness falls, the city whispers a different name.
The Baseball Bat Killer.
Feared by the public and relentlessly hunted by police, the elusive serial killer has left investigators chasing shadows for years. No fingerprints. No witnesses. No mistakes.
As Detective Adrian Cross closes in on the truth, Elias finds himself caught between the life he's carefully built and the secrets that could destroy it. And when an unexpected romance enters the picture, the walls separating his two worlds begin to crack.
How long can someone live as both an ordinary man... and a nightmare?
And when the truth finally comes to light-
Who will survive it?
