LADY IN A BATH

A revered police chief. A shattered family. A murder that blooms with old secrets.

When Chief Sam Butler's son is found dead in Riverfront Park-his body staged with a rare flower-the city is thrown into chaos. The killing bears the unmistakable mark of a notorious serial killer Butler apprehended decades ago, reopening wounds that never fully healed. But the original murderer, Angela Marks, is locked away, and suspicion quickly falls on Butler's adopted son, Alex-Angela's biological child.

As the investigation spirals, the lines between protector and predator blur. The Butler family is thrust into a media frenzy, their darkest memories dragged into the light as new murders echo chilling patterns from the past. With each revelation, Sarah Butler, the chief's daughter, is forced to question everything she thought she knew about her family and the man who built his legacy on catching monsters.

But in a town built on secrets, who can truly be trusted? Haunting, atmospheric, and razor-sharp, this psychological thriller explores the bonds of blood, the masks we wear, and the terrifying legacy of violence that refuses to die.

Some flowers never stop blooming. Some nightmares are rooted too deep to pull free.
