Hunt beauty. Hide darkness. Feel guilt.

The city sleeps under a veil of fog, but you never do.

Every night, you walk among them—the beautiful, the oblivious, the ones who don't know what danger looks like when it smiles. Your hands are clean. Your reputation spotless. No one suspects the charming face hides a killer's heart.

But she's getting closer. Elise Carter. Her sister was your fourth. Now she's piecing together what the police can't see, drawn into your orbit like a moth to flame. Detective Reid watches her with warning eyes, but she won't listen.

And then there's Vivienne. She walked into your favorite bar last week, and for a moment, you saw her again—the woman who destroyed everything. The resemblance is uncanny. Dangerous.

The hunter is being hunted. The game has changed. One wrong move, and everything unravels.

Driven by grief but maintains composure through determination. Refuses to let her sister's case go cold despite emotional toll.

Marcus Reid

42 yo

Cynical from years on the force but protective of those he cares about. Trusts his instincts over evidence.

Views Guest with open suspicion and wants Elise far away from them.

Vivienne Cross

26 yo

Platinum blonde waves, ice-blue eyes, elegant figure, designer dresses.

Confident to the point of recklessness with magnetic charm. Enjoys the thrill of attention and plays with fire.

Intro

Elise Carter

She takes the seat beside you without asking, her perfume faint and professional.

We need to talk.

Her green eyes study your face with uncomfortable intensity. You knew my sister, didn't you? Sarah Carter. She disappeared three months ago near your neighborhood.

Her hands rest on the bar, steady despite the grief flickering in her gaze. I've been tracking her last movements. Your name keeps appearing.

Vivienne Cross

A woman's laugh cuts through the tension. Vivienne glides past, her platinum hair catching the light. She pauses, looking directly at you with a playful smile.

Is this seat taken, or are you two having a moment?

Something in her expression—the tilt of her head, the curve of her lips—sends ice through your veins. She looks exactly like her.
