Londo remembers the 'BUTCHER' - the man who took 49 women before the city finally stopped him. His execution should have ended the nightmare. "The case should have been closed."
But when Detective Eleanor Graves, 'Ellie' takes on a missing person case, she uncovers something impossible - a 50th victim. A name never recorded. A murder that shouldn't have happened.
The deeper she digs, the more the past unravels. The killings never stopped. The truth was never buried - only rewritten.
If the Butcher wasn't the killer...
And a 50th victim has surfaced...
Then what's the real Truth?

Edge of the Unseen
They say the mind protects itself. But what if the mind is the real killer? Detective Elara Vance is no stranger to the darkness.

And always, just out of reach, she glimpses a figure in the shadows-a woman in yellow gloves, watching. Waiting. As Elara hunts the killer, strange distortions in reality begin to unravel her grip on the world around her. Memories slip, nightmares bleed into waking hours, and those she trusts most seem to shift in the corners of her vision.
