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.
 
This explosive, pulse-pounding sequel to ‘Deceit by Design – Behind the Façade’  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?
