About
Summary
The Face of the Wicked follows Detective Rowan as he hunts a sadistic killer who mutilates victims into grotesque smiles. Each crime scene feels like a performance, taunting Rowan with messages and eerie signatures. As the murders escalate, Rowan’s obsession deepens—sketches blur reality, reflections smirk without him, and a haunting voice whispers from within. His partner Hale grows increasingly suspicious, his grin unsettlingly familiar. The line between detective and monster dissolves until Rowan realizes the wicked isn’t a person at all but a mask of madness passed from face to face. In the end, Rowan can no longer distinguish himself from the evil he chased—the wicked face has become his own.
