Simplicity

The bath is still running. The candles are still lit. His wife is gone.

Ten years ago, reporter David Sinclair caught the Bathwater Killer and turned the case into the bestseller that made his name.

Now his wife, Stacy, has vanished from a hotel suite staged exactly like those murders.

Her blood is on his sleeve.
Her phone is in his trunk.
And on it is her voice, recorded weeks before: If something happens to me, it was him.

In the steam on the bathroom mirror, five words meant only for him:

You already caught me once.

The killer knows details David never published. Details only he knew. Every clue is written in his own handwriting. The police are certain. The city has already convicted him. And as the bodies begin to return, the only man who can prove his innocence is the one nobody will believe.

To save himself, David must tear apart the case that made him famous and face the possibility that the man he put away was never the monster at all.

Someone has been leading him for ten years.

And they're not finished.

Simplicity is a dark, twisting psychological thriller about guilt, obsession and the stories we tell ourselves to feel safe. It's for readers who love buried secrets, unreliable memories, and endings that stay with them long after the last page.

In the end, everybody gets what they deserve.
