Sinopse

Is Smitty a professional hitman? A spy? A private detective? A protector of the weak and innocent?
 
No one knows. But whatever Smitty is, know that he is very good at whatever hat decides to wear that day. These twenty-six short stories feature the anti-hero as he seeks out his prey with ruthless determination.
 
When Smitty finds his target, they should pray that they're not in his gunsights. Because if they are, it’s guaranteed they will not see the next sunrise.

    Dear Jack: Love Letters from...

    I call myself his wife. I kill to prove it. 
     
    You think you know Jack Steen. You’ve heard his confessions. You’ve listened to the voices he records in the dark. You know him as the man who lets others tell their stories while keeping his own carefully hidden. 
     
    But Jack has never told you everything. 
     
    We shared a weekend once. Las Vegas. Bright lights. Too many drinks. A closeness he later dismissed as a mistake. He walked away believing silence could end what we began. It didn’t. 
     
    I’ve been writing him letters ever since. 
     
    Love letters. Each one begins as a poem, a rhyme meant to sound harmless if you don’t listen too closely. Jyll and Jack went up the hill… But every rhyme is a vow. And every vow demands proof. 
     
    Each letter tells Jack about a man I killed. Not because the men mattered. They didn’t. They were stand-ins. Rehearsals. Each one reminded me of Jack in some small way—his voice, his kindness, the way he once looked at me like I was something worth keeping. I took them slowly. Carefully. Beautifully. I made them mine the way a wife should. 
     
    These aren’t confessions the way Jack understands them. I’m not asking to be forgiven. I’m not explaining myself. I’m documenting a marriage he refuses to acknowledge. 
     
    If you’re listening now, it’s because I’ve decided to let you. Witnesses matter. Devotion deserves to be heard. But don’t mistake this for a warning. This isn’t about the men who died. It never is. It’s about Jack. My husband. The man you think you know. 
     
    And when I’m finished, you’ll know him differently too. 
     
    *note... these were originally recorded for audio, like a podcast, and it has NOT been edited by a professional editor. I'm only placing them here as an ebook so you can listen to them (I took inspiration from Jack, actually).

    The Fourth Victim is a masterful blend of psychological horror and suspense, a tale that grips readers with its unsettling premise and refuses to let go. Set against the haunting legacy of a New Mexico cult, this story explores the inescapable ties of the past and the chilling cost of survival.
    Three survivors of a harrowing cult have already fallen victim to a relentless killer. Now, only one remains. Kelly Stone, the final survivor, has built a quiet life far from her traumatic beginnings. But as the ghosts of her past resurface, so does the danger, drawing her into a terrifying confrontation with a predator determined to finish what was started decades ago.
    With its atmospheric tension and relentless pacing, The Fourth Victim plunges readers into a world where fear is palpable and safety is an illusion. The claustrophobic dread of being hunted permeates every page, pulling readers into Kelly's desperate struggle to protect her daughter and herself.
    What sets this novel apart is its deep emotional core. Kelly's journey is not just one of survival but also of reckoning—with her past, her identity, and her determination to fight back against a fate that seems inevitable. Her character is richly drawn, her vulnerability making her triumphs all the more powerful, while the antagonist is a chilling embodiment of unrelenting evil.
    Perfect for fans of dark psychological horror with a human edge, The Fourth Victim delivers heart-pounding terror and poignant storytelling. It's not just a book—it's an unshakable experience, one that lingers long after the last page. This is a tale that will chill readers to their core and leave them hungry for more.
     "WOW this book was so hard to out down. You had me guessing who was involved and how!! Terrific read, and the plot just kept getting thicker every page."  ★★★★★
