The 12th Cleansing: A Cold Case Reignited by a Serial Killer's Return

THE KILLER SAYS HE SAVES THEIR SOULS. THE COP KNOWS HE FAILED THEM.

Four years after vanishing, the Moralist resurfaces with another teenage girl left posed like a sacrifice and a city gripped by dread. Haunted by the eleven victims he could not save, Detective Walker Michaels throws himself back into the hunt, chasing a killer who believes every murdered girl is a soul washed clean.

For Sonya Rawlings, mother of the latest victim, grief tears open secrets she has buried for years. As Walker’s obsession entangles him with her fractured family, Sonya must choose between the compliant woman she has always been and the mother her son now needs—before the Moralist claims another “soul.”

Perfect for readers of dark crime and psychological thrillers who crave damaged detectives, dangerous faith, and the razor-thin line between justice and obsession.

Reading is a passion. Writing is an obsession.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, I live and write in Milan, Italy. As an independent author, I invest in my writing by working with coaches, using beta readers, polishing every manuscript with professional human editors, and finishing with a proofreader. Added to my passion for crafting stories, this offers you quality books that are an enjoyable read and often provide a thought-provoking experience.

I love to expound stories that are driven by relatable characters on meaningful journeys. Drawing from personal experiences enriches the writing process and leaves readers feeling like they know the characters they spend time with in a story. That human connection between my characters, readers, and myself, fuels my drive as an author.

Optimistic views of the future through art always interest me, as I believe ours will be bright.
