For Detective George Reynolds, his initiation into the area-wide murder task force under the guidance of DS Michael Dalton takes a nightmarish turn. His first case is far from the seamless transition he had hoped for. The horrors they uncover are steeped in the supernatural, as an ancient Kanaima demon, unleashed from an Egyptian relic, wreaks havoc on the city.

Guided by DS Michael Dalton, he must untangle the enigmatic threads connecting the first lifeless body beneath the Union Canal Bridge to a string of gruesome murders. But George soon discovers that the demon not only possesses an unwitting host but also answers to a sadistic puppeteer hungry for revenge.

Amidst the chaos, he forges a sizzling connection with Ellena Walker, the brilliant forensic pathologist, igniting a second chance at love.

What else would explain their obsession with leaving their name and one of their expensive ornaments on the crime scene? Naturally, these two belonged to different worlds. They didn't need to ever cross paths or even considered connected. But surprisingly, all the people Robin killed are one way or another, connected to Rose. Now that's a little too convenient, isn't it? # ONC Prompt 28: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. # ONC 2024 Longlister and Shortlister ONC 2024 Ambassadors Pick Featured in Ambassadors Newsletter June 2024
