A Jacksonville case built around a visible pattern

Homicide detective Grace Hartwell investigates a serial killer whose five crime scenes share a visible pattern, while three suspects offer conflicting accounts. Her ability to read people has been a reliable tool, but this case unsettles her confidence: she questions whether the killer is manipulating the investigation or whether she is losing touch with herself. The case also intersects with a secret that could put Grace’s career and life at risk. Set in Jacksonville, the novel combines a police investigation with the pressures surrounding a detective whose work and personal vulnerabilities are closely entangled.
