“More than a little gruesome and bloody. In a word: perfect.”

Everyone has a dark side. Lane swore she would never become like her late mother. But she hunts killers—and makes sure they never strike again. It’s the one rule that keeps her human. Until she breaks it. While tracking a murderer dubbed The Strangler, Lane makes a catastrophic mistake and kills the wrong man.

Forced to hide in plain sight, she infiltrates the victim’s family as the hunt for the real killer intensifies—only to find herself drawn dangerously close to people who could expose everything she’s buried. And that’s only the beginning. Trying to build a normal life—college classes, a steady boyfriend, a cheerful roommate—Lane is pulled into another chilling mystery when a woman’s staged suicide mirrors a decades-old crime in the same house. The evidence points somewhere impossible: her dead mother.

As bodies mount and secrets surface, Lane finds herself caught between a ruthless predator, a violent biker gang, and an FBI stepfather closing in from one direction while her family’s blood-soaked history unravels from another. Someone has been orchestrating deaths for decades. And the truth may be rooted in the same legacy that created her. Two gripping thrillers. One woman living among killers.
