About this book

Summary

**Three sentence summary** Detective Daniel Mercer is pulled back into a deadly psychological game when a killer resurfaces to punish silence and moral indifference. As rules escalate and the city itself becomes the testing ground, Daniel must confront his own past failures while refusing to surrender responsibility to fear or control. In the end, the final battle is not about stopping violence, but proving that choice, not coercion, defines who people become.
