In the shadowy heart of a city plagued by darkness, Detective Victor Cross bears a tormented soul. From the depths of his troubled past, he's harbored a haunting desire for death's sweet embrace-a desire thwarted by an inscrutable entity, a spectral tormentor that clings to his very existence.

Locked within the depths of Victor's memory lies the cryptic secret of his despair, a puzzle as elusive as the enigmatic presence that keeps him from his ultimate release.

But fate, relentless and capricious, has other plans for Victor. When an old colleague reemerges from the shadows with a chilling mystery, the detective is reluctantly thrust into the depths of a supernatural nightmare.

The death of the mayor's brother, Richard Mitchel, is no ordinary murder. It is a malevolent riddle that strikes at the heart of the city's darkest secrets. Victor Cross must confront his own haunted past as he delves into a world where the boundaries between life and death blur, and ancient, sinister forces whisper their inscrutable truths.

In "The Entity," Victor Cross must grapple with his own inner demons as he races against time to uncover the truth behind a murder that defies reason. With the line between the living and the dead growing thinner, can he unravel the web of mysteries and confront the relentless entity that clings to his very soul? In a city where shadows hold secrets and death is never the end, Victor Cross is about to embark on a journey that will test the boundaries of life, death, and everything in between.

By night, those same hands are stained in blood, delivering justice to those who deserve it. She works alone. Always has. Always will. But when three dangerous men step into her world, that certainty begins to unravel. Hayes Knight is all sharp edges and quiet control, a man who sees too much and doesn't flinch at the darkness in her. Theodore Gray is as brilliant as he is perceptive, his kindness hiding a mind just as twisted as her own. Elias Hart? He's all effortless charm and reckless curiosity-the kind of trouble she should avoid. They should be threats. Instead, they make her question everything. Alistair Thorn, the tortured FBI agent who's been investigating Raven for years, has his own dark agenda. Despite being on her case, he's on her side-working with Hayes, Theo, and Elias to cover up the messes Raven creates. But even as they work together, Raven can't escape the ghosts of her past, the secrets that keep her running, and the dangerous games they all play. As past and present collide, secrets unravel, and the hunt turns personal, Raven must decide: keep running from the ghosts that haunt her, or let them in-and risk losing the only thing she's ever known.
