IMG_0235.jpg

The usually tranquil and picturesque city of Champaign, Illinois is being rocked by an evil force, turning it upside down.

  Three closely bonded women - talented, beautiful, and potent with success and charisma - return to their old alma mater for their 10th school reunion.  One of the trio is suspiciously murdered - remarkably, this is the first homicide in fifty years. Who could be responsible for such a heinous crime in a charming city full of people, many of whom have secrets to hide?​ 

 Dark secrets bubble in Champaign...

 ​ There's only one man suitable for this role: Lieutenant Craig Ryan, relentless in his pursuit of justice. Alongside him is his former partner, Kirsten Wells, a reporter and darling of Champaign, whose grief drives her quest for the truth. 

  As the investigation intensifies, a flood of cryptic poetic clues and riddles are scattered around. Devious. Mystifying. Indeed vexing. One by one, the women of Champaign become entangled in a psychotic killer's web.

 ​ Nothing will stop him from getting what he wants. His plans must be thwarted before it's too late...

New Arrival

Sentenced to death for the brutal murders of nine innocent women, Marco Carrera awaits execution in Steelvale Maximum Security—a fortress of despair designed to break monsters. And the ghosts of his sins stalk its impenetrable walls.

 Plagued by chilling whispers that blur the line between reality and madness, Marco is haunted by a cryptic figure known only as X – an inmate who seems determined to destroy what’s left of his sanity. Is X a revenant from his past, a figment of his crumbling mind, or something far more dangerous?

 Beyond Steelvale’s walls, Lieutenant Craig Ryan seeks to unravel the shadowy web of Marco’s life, unaware that he’s already ensnared in a game far more twisted than he ever could’ve imagined. The stakes? Everything he holds dear.

In this explosive, pulse-pounding sequel to Deceit by Design, dives deep into the human capacity for manipulation, redemption, and revenge. 

 In a place where truth is as elusive as freedom, one question remains:

 Can the most reviled man alive claw his way to freedom — or will his sins finally seal his fate?

His fate was sealed - until a shadow whispered otherwise. His sins have a voice. And it just called his name.
