About Me. The Hawthorne Trilogy, #1

Robert Hawthorne was raised to inherit everything: wealth, power, influence, and control. Brilliant, polished, and emotionally untouchable, he learns early that the world rewards appearances more than truth. After the sudden death of his father, Robert discovers something even more intoxicating than money: freedom. Reinventing himself under new identities, he moves through elite society unnoticed, studying people with cold precision while quietly reshaping the lives around him.
But when relationships begin to threaten the carefully constructed architecture of his world, Robert crosses a line from manipulation into murder. About Me is a sophisticated psychological thriller filled with deception, luxury, obsession, and moral decay - a chilling portrait of a man who becomes terrifying precisely because he is so believable.
