Some men leave prison and never look back. Jessie "Luka" Brennan left, but the past isn't done with him. Five years inside taught Luka how to read a room before it reads him. Now he runs a rec-center program for kids headed the same direction he was, keeps his head down, and tries to believe redemption is something you become-not just a story you tell yourself. Invisible is safe. Invisible doesn't last. When a serial killer calling himself the Riddler starts leaving elaborate, literary puzzles at crime scenes across North Carolina, the police can't crack them. The language is too personal, built from a world the department doesn't have access to. Luka does. Because the riddles aren't just clues. They're addressed to him. Forced into an uneasy partnership with Detective Maggie Voss, Luka finds himself doing the one thing prison never let him imagine: standing on the right side of a case. But every riddle strips back another layer of the man he used to be, and it becomes clear the killer isn't a stranger studying him from a distance-he's someone who knew exactly who Luka was, and refuses to believe that man is gone. As the bodies climb and the riddles turn from taunts into threats against the people Luka has let back into his life, he'll have to answer the question the killer is betting he can't: whether redemption is real, or just the best lie he's ever told. The Riddler knows Luka's darkest secrets. He's betting Luka hasn't changed. He's wrong-but proving it will cost everything. A gripping, character-driven thriller for fans of Karin Slaughter and Chris Carter. The first book in the Jessie "Luka" Brennan series.
