The Sketchbook Files
Juliet "Jules" Ryker is fourteen. She's observant, book-smart, and more emotionally mature than the man raising her, a detective unraveling beneath the weight of his latest case.
Nolan Ryker is chasing a serial killer with a taste for theatrics. Jules? She's keeping the lights on, making sure he remembers to eat... and secretly sketching the crime scenes pinned all over his office walls.
Her sketchbook isn't just art. It's a growing archive of details, patterns, and things no one else seems to see.
She just wants a normal high school life. But when the killer's trail starts bleeding into hers, Jules realizes she may be closer to the truth than anyone suspects.
And someone out there might be watching her back through her own drawings.
