Publisher's Synopsis
In the heart of a city haunted by its past, Detective Julia Kessler confronts a series of ritualistic murders that defy all logic. Each victim, marked with a tarnished coin and a page ripped from an ancient ledger, pays a bloody debt for sins long buried. As Julia delves deeper into the macabre investigation, she uncovers a chilling truth: the ledger isn't just a list of names-it's a key to a dark power that manipulates the city's very soul. With each gruesome discovery, the killer's message becomes clearer: retribution is coming, and Julia's own name is next on the ledger.
Haunted by the ghosts of her past and driven by a relentless pursuit of justice, Julia must race against time to decipher the ledger's cryptic code and stop a killer who operates with surgical precision and a chilling sense of purpose. But as the lines between past and present blur, Julia discovers that the true horror lies not in the killer's brutality, but in the dark legacy that binds her to the ledger's bloody demands. Can she confront the shadows that threaten to consume her, or will she become another name etched in the ledger's gruesome history?
