A City Haunted by a Killer Who Believes He’s Saving Souls
HE FAILED TO STOP A MONSTER ONCE. NOW THE BODIES ARE A REMINDER—AND A WARNING.
When the Moralist resurfaces after four silent years, his “mission” is as twisted as ever: cleanse teenage girls of their sins by killing them, convinced he’s saving their souls. Detective Walker Michaels has spent years drowning in the guilt of letting him slip away. Now, with a new victim and a shattered family in his path, the case pulls at every fracture line in his already-broken life.
As Walker is drawn into the orbit of a grieving mother hiding devastating secrets, obsession tangles with responsibility. She is done shrinking herself to survive—and the more she fights for the truth, the more dangerous their connection becomes. With the killer escalating and his motives sharpening, Walker must confront not only a predator who believes he’s righteous, but the darkness he’s been carrying all along.
For fans of dark, character-driven psychological thrillers with haunted detectives, relentless mothers, and serial killers who think they’re the only ones doing God’s work.
