Synopsis
A GRIPPING LESBIAN PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER OF SECRETS, LIES AND OBSESSION.
The victims are dead. The footage says otherwise.
A string of impossible murders is about to rewrite everything Detective Ashley Tate believes about life, death, and justice.
The victims are predators who escaped punishment. Each one is found decomposing in their homes, dead for days. Yet security footage shows them walking, talking, and living after their confirmed time of death.
As the body count rises, Ashley is pulled into a case that defies logic and threatens her sanity. The deeper she digs, the more the evidence points somewhere she cannot afford to look, her secret lover, powerful crime boss Coco Matino.
When Coco's behaviour shifts and her presence is linked to a crime scene, Ashley's professional duty collides with her personal life in ways that could destroy them both.
Meanwhile, journalist Jude Abrahams is always one step ahead. First at every crime scene. Publishing articles that praise the killer and expose police failures. But Jude is hiding something, a secret rooted in a traumatic genetics experiment that may explain the impossible.
As identities blur and the truth fractures, Ashley is forced to confront a reality more dangerous than any killer. In a city where nothing is what it seems, the line between hunter and hunted disappears.
This dark lesbian thriller blends psychological suspense, mystery, and a slow burn sapphic romance with dangerous stakes. Expect shocking twists, impossible crimes, and a killer who should not exist.
