A Dark Psychological Serial Killer Love Thriller
She’s chasing a killer. She’s falling in love. She doesn’t know they’re the same man.
Detective Wren Calder is brilliant, haunted, and barely hanging on. Her badge is on the line. Her sobriety is slipping. And someone is watching her fall.
When a series of brutal murders rocks the city—each victim found with eerie, personal ties to Wren—she’s pulled into a case that feels as intimate as it is terrifying. The pressure is mounting. The department doesn’t trust her. And neither does she.
The only person who seems to understand her is Elias Vale, her charming new neighbor with a quiet smile and a steady hand. He listens. He sees her. He helps her stay sober. But as the bodies pile up, a horrifying pattern emerges: each time Wren relapses… someone dies.
What she doesn’t know is that the killer isn’t just close. He’s inside her life, inside her mind— and he’s already decided how her story ends.
Addiction. Obsession. Deception. Love. This is the calm before the storm. This is The High Before the Fall.
