The Crimson Spotlight (Book 1) by JanSav3
9 parts Complete Mature
Detective Elias Voss never wanted to be center stage-until a killer made him the star of a twisted play. In the rain-drenched shadows of a crumbling city, a young woman's throat is slashed, her sequined dress a glittering shroud, a black rose pinned to her chest like a macabre boutonnière. The note left behind is a taunt, a curtain call addressed to Detective Elias Voss: "The first act begins. Curtains up, Detective." At twenty-four, Elias is a prodigy with a mind sharper than the killer's blade-shy, devastatingly handsome, and more comfortable with corpses than compliments. He's paired with Mara Quinn, a rookie officer whose wit is as quick as her courage, and together they're thrust into a case that's equal parts theater and terror. The crime scene is a stage, the murder a performance, and the killer a director with a penchant for blood and bravado. As Elias and Mara unravel the clues-a glitzy party, a shadowy figure in a hoodie, a trail of crimson-they realize this is no isolated act. It's the opening night of a deadly series, and Elias is the unwilling lead in a script written by a psychopath. With dark humor as their shield and the spotlight burning hotter with every move, they must catch the curtain before it falls-on them. Perfect for fans of twisted mysteries and unlikely heroes, The Crimson Spotlight is the first act in a gripping new series where every clue is a line, every death a scene, and the finale is far from guaranteed.

**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.
