Thriller Serial Killer | Thriller Psychological

Do you want to know what itโ€™s like to die, to kill, to really fear for your life? Then get hookedโ€ฆ

Detroit-based homicide detective John Barnes has seen it allโ€”literally. Thanks to a technologically advanced machine, detectives have access to the memories of the living, the dying, and the recently dead. But extracting victimsโ€™ experiences firsthand and personally reliving everything up to the final, brutal moments of their lives โ€”the sights, the sounds, the scents, the painโ€”is also the punishment reserved for the criminals themselves.

Barnes has had enough. Enough of the memories that arenโ€™t his. Enough of the horror. Enough of the voices inside his head that were never meant to take rootโ€ฆuntil a masked serial killer known as Calavera strikes a little too close to home.

Now, with Calavera on the loose, Barnes is ready to reconnect, risking his lifeโ€”and his sanity. Because in the mind of this serial killer, there is one secret even Barnes has yet to seeโ€ฆ
