Asher Jones has perfected the art of disappearing people. Careful. Calculated. Untouchable. For years, he's evaded suspicion, leaving behind nothing but cold cases and grieving families.
Until Alexa Phillip.
She was never supposed to be different. Just another name. Another body.
But three days after he buries her, Asher sees her standing across the street from his apartment.
Alive.
At first, he convinces himself it's guilt. Trauma. Stress finally cracking his control. But then Alexa starts appearing everywhere in the grocery store aisle, outside his office, sitting calmly in his car. She doesn't scream. She doesn't run. She just watches him... disappointed.
Knowing.
And every time he kills her again, she comes back.
Unharmed. Unafraid. And closer.
As Asher spirals deeper into paranoia, the line between reality and madness fractures. Is Alexa a ghost? A hallucination? Or something far worse a punishment tailored just for him?
Because this time, the hunter isn't in control.
And Alexa won't stay dead.
