    Detective Ella Voss is no stranger to cold cases, but when a series of brutal murders in a sleepy coastal town eerily mirrors an unsolved case from her past, she is forced to confront old demons. The killer leaves behind glass sculptures at each crime scene, each etched with cryptic messages that seem to taunt her personally. As Ella digs deeper, she uncovers ties between the victims and a secret society known as "The Reflectors," rumored to have trafficked in stolen art and human lives. Betrayals, hidden alliances, and haunting revelations unfold as she partners with Theo Cruz, a former profiler turned recluse after a personal tragedy. As the killer's game intensifies, Ella finds herself questioning her own past, her instincts, and even those closest to her. The climax builds to a deadly showdown where every choice could mean life or death-not just for Ella but for those she has sworn to protect.
