Part 1: The Critic and the Ghost
For brilliant forensic anthropologist Dr Lilly Prior, the dead are preferable company. Her sterile lab is a sanctuary where the only language spoken is the quiet, logical truth of bone. But when the aggressively charming FBI Agent Jake Booth summons her to a bizarre crime scene-a skeleton posed at a macabre mannequin dinner party-her carefully controlled world is shattered. This is no ordinary killer. He calls himself The Watcher, an artist who leaves behind pristine white feathers and cryptic symbols carved directly into his victims. He's a ghost who can walk through secured perimeters, and his terrifying, personal messages make one thing clear: this elaborate, deadly performance is all for Lilly. Forced into an uneasy alliance with the infuriatingly handsome Agent Booth, Lilly must decipher The Watcher's horrifying riddles while navigating a threat she can't analyse: her own undeniable connection to the one man who might breach her defences for good. As the killer's obsession escalates, Lilly becomes the central piece in a terrifying game where losing is not an option.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
the Sixteenth Surgeon
In a post-apocalyptic world, culled by war and resurrected in the same violent image, the capitol city streets of Amenthes are about to run red with blood. A society ruled by a class of hired killers known as Surgeons, balances on the edge of chaos, as a new operation gets the green light for hire. Roman Blue, the oldest and best Surgeon alive, steps out of retirement for a mark nobody saw coming...himself. Nobody believes it, that Roman, infamous killer of the highest pedigree, puts a bounty on his own head of 16 million dollars, to whoever shows up at the Organization claiming room with a Roman coin, (his calling card) covered in his own blood. Is this a statement of power, or a way for an old dog to die in the fires of glory? Rumors spread and Surgeons from far and wide find themselves in the same streets, feuding over territory and riches, as well as the respect of the one who finally kills the Roman. Speculation boils as theories surface, and greed fuels the rage of a city built on myths and bodies, where every top Surgeon has their trademark and their own nemesis, where the rules are about to break down. How do you kill a Roman? What does he have to gain, or is it all just for the bloody fun of it? 16 days, 15 Surgeons will fall. Who will be standing when the smoke clears? Place your bets, load your guns. All Hail Caesar.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
