The Tenth Puzzle by Zero They called her the Puzzle Killer. Nine victims. Nine puzzle pieces. One woman left behind in the fire. But Dr. Alexia Yoon, a forensic psychologist known for her sharp instincts and colder conscience, always doubted the official version of the case. Years ago, she studied under the brilliant yet mysterious Dr. Lee Seung-joo-the prime suspect in a serial murder case that shocked the nation. Seung-joo vanished the night of the final fire. The media declared her dead. The task force closed the case. But Alexia never believed it. Because she was there. And she pulled Seung-joo from the flames. Now, years later, a tenth puzzle piece appears. Clean. Bloodless. Delivered straight to Alexia's door. The real killer has returned. Hwang In-chan-a forgotten figure from their past. A man who once whispered revenge into Seung-joo's silence. The one who taught her how to vanish... while he did the killing. As the murders resume, Alexia must confront her greatest fear: the woman she saved might not be the villain after all. But the man who still haunts her every step? He's just getting started. And this time, the final puzzle is her.
