A #1 Amazon Charts bestseller, available for the first time in English.
In this fast-paced, pulse-pounding thriller, a former priest has to uncover the secret identity of a deadly gang leader while confronting his own dark past.
After the death of someone he loved very much, local priest Ismael Niebuhr has vowed to leave the accursed town of San Isidro for good. But the Skulls, a dangerous gang, and their leader the Mime King have other plans for him.
They stalk him day and night, asking the same terrifying question: "Who?"
Desperate to escape, the priest soon realizes he needs the help of an old friend who he hasn't spoken to in years, Abraham Pérez, the chief of police.
The problem is that Ismael and Abe share more than a broken friendship. A dark secret lies between them, a secret that can get everyone they care about killed.
This page-turner, filled with twists and turns, mixes the constant tension of modern psychological thrillers like THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN with a writing style akin to Miguel Otero Silva's early work. SKELETONS IN THE RAIN is a novel filled with suspense that you won't be able to put down.

And somewhere in that twisted story, Noah himself has been cast in a starring role. This Story is Inspired from the Movie 'Copycat'Complete

Echoes of a Broken Mind
In the rain-soaked streets of Midori City, a shadow moves with purpose. Blood drips. Bodies are discovered, each more artfully arranged than the last. Each victim tells a story-or rather, two different stories. Detective Ren Saito is haunted by his past failures. When he's assigned to investigate a series of gruesome murders, he notices something others miss: the contradictions. Some victims are posed with meticulous care, others savagely torn apart. Some crime scenes contain remorseful notes, others carry messages of rage. As the body count rises, Ren uncovers a chilling truth-the killer suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder. Two personalities wage war within one mind: methodical Mira, who kills with artistic precision, and violent Ash, who murders in chaotic fury. But as Ren delves deeper into the killer's fractured psyche, he's forced to confront his own demons. The line between hunter and hunted blurs. The killer seems to know him-his fears, his regrets-and the murders begin to feel increasingly personal. In a race against time, Ren must unravel the mysteries of a broken mind before the next body falls. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more he questions his own sanity. Some minds are best left unexplored.Complete
