The Shadows Encore (Book 2)
8 parts Complete MatureThe spotlight never fades-it only shifts.
Detective Elias Voss thought he'd silenced the killer's song when Vincent Drayce fell, his blood staining the stage of The Crimson Spotlight. But two weeks later, a new note hums in the dark-a jagged, brutal scream that isn't Drayce's, yet echoes his madness. In the rotting husk of an old cannery, a body hangs chained, throat torn open, a black rose nailed to its chest, and a taunt scrawled in blood: "Act Two begins with a scream, Detective." The encore is here, and it's personal-again.
With rookie Officer Mara Quinn at his side-her wit as sharp as the killer's blade-Elias hunts a shadow that knows his name, a director weaving a new script of rage and ruin. Each clue tightens the noose, each murder a step closer to a stage he can't escape. Is this a copycat? A partner Drayce left behind? Or something darker, watching from the wings? In a city drowning in rain and secrets, the curtain rises on a deadly encore-and this time, the finale might claim them all.
