"The Shadow of Washington"
by Gaia De Boer
They called him a ghost.
She knew better.
Washington, D.C. is a city built on secrets - and now someone is killing to keep them buried. A retired lobbyist, a professor, a journalist - each found with a single stab wound and a torn page from a different book. The media dubs him The Shadow of Washington. Detective Jessica Lane calls him something else: unfinished.
New to homicide and already in over her head, Jessica is drawn into a game she can't control - one where every clue feels like a message, every victim like a verse. As the murders mount, so does the sense that this killer isn't just targeting people - he's rewriting history, one voice at a time.
But the closer Jessica gets to the truth, the more blurred the line becomes between hunter and hunted, watcher and watched. And when the final page is written, it may not be hers to sign.
A cerebral, chilling psychological thriller for fans of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Mindhunter, The Shadow of Washington is a descent into obsession, influence, and the stories we tell to survive.
