In *The Mask*, seasoned detective Jameson is drawn into a chilling cold case that has haunted his town. A string of unsolved murders, tied together by a single, sinister clue-each victim left in the same position-has baffled the police. The case grows colder with time, until Jameson, with his razor-sharp instincts and relentless pursuit of justice, investigates it.

Jameson begins to unearth horrid secrets, following a trail that leads him through the dark underbelly of the city. As he interrogates elusive suspects and unravels hidden connections, he soon realizes that the masked man has a deeper, more personal connection to him than he ever imagined. His investigation is riddled with twists-shocking betrayals, false leads, and old alliances shattered.

With every turn, the stakes rise higher as Jameson discovers that the line between friend and foe is thinner than he thought. His trusted colleagues, once believed to be loyal, begin to act suspiciously. The closer he gets to uncovering the masked man's identity, the more he realizes that the answers lie in a place he never expected.

In a heart-stopping finale, Jameson uncovers the truth in a revelation that changes everything. In a stunning and unexpected plot twist, Jamison is forced to confront a devastating truth about himself and those he trusts most.

*The Mask* is a gripping, fast-paced thriller full of unexpected twists, where nothing is as it seems, and the truth is more shocking than anyone could have predicted.

Going through my pictures, I went to the one that I had just taken, and the phone slowly slipped out of my grasp. What had escaped my notice before is that the couch I had taken the picture on was against a window, which showed the backyard of the house. But in this picture, it wasn't an empty backyard. No, behind my smiling face was another one, outside the window. It was his face. Covered with a black ski mask, watching me. *** All 19-year-old Layna wanted to do was forget about the guy that broke her heart, and move on with her new boyfriend Brian.

I slammed the table loudly and groaned out of pain. Not only the pain from the headache I was having right now. But also from the memories flooding my mind as well. I was slowly remembering everything. "I hate you!"I shouted seething from anger as I gritted my teeth to stop myself from attacking him. He was really tempting me and I knew it wouldn't be long before I would attempt to pull his face apart and rip out his throat. "Not more than I hate you Alexander Norman. Trust me." He said emphasising on the name that seemed so foreign to me yet that was my real name. He had a mischievous glint in his eyes as he seemed to enjoy the internal battle I was having in my head. " So back to my story-" He drawled in an attempt to irritate me before he continued. " Your mother married me because I had her secret and I threatened to ruin her with it if she did not give in to my wishes." "And what exactly was her secret?" I asked. "She killed your father." He responded and glanced at me probably waiting for my reaction at what he just said. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Scandals brew in the air once more.

[EDIT] THE STORY IS UNDERGOING SOME REVISIONS SO THAT IT WON'T BE CRINGEY. I wrote this three years ago, so cut me some slack people. [EDIT 2] THE STORY HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REVISED. I edited a lot. Entire chapters are changed, the dilemma, the songs, the interactions, and even the deaths have all been made, in my mind, better. I really wanted to make this a thriller, but I also wanted mature elements in here, and I definitely didn't want you guys to read anything cringey. So, this is the final director's cut of my novel. I sincerely hope you enjoy and appreciate my revisions. Thanks so much. [EDIT 3] Okay I'm still not satisfied I need to keep updating the parts so sorry everyone lmao The inhabitants of Mazeboro, CA have never seen too much trouble, especially not a string of murders that begin to happen all over town.

But, as less and less people remain, fingers are pointed and distrust ensues. Paranoia settles in. Newt must determine who is guilty and who is not, before every single person is dead.
