Hollow Glass

In a city of mirrors, there is nowhere left to hide. Detective Elias Crane has spent his career navigating the shadows of the metropolis, but he has never encountered a predator like Silas. A "mathematician of the macabre" with a terrifying obsession with clarity, Silas doesn't just kill his victims-he preserves them. Using industrial polymers and surgical precision, he transforms human beings into "specimens": living statues of glass, bone, and light, designed to be viewed from the inside out.
As the body count rises, each crime scene becomes a more complex room in a city-wide gallery. From the heights of glass penthouses to the marrow of the subway system, Silas is peeling back the layers of the human form to find the "invisible truth."With his partner Miller, Elias is drawn into a high-stakes game of voyeurism and violence where the barriers between hunter and prey begin to shatter. To stop Silas, Elias must venture into a world where empathy is a physical object and the soul is just another circuit to be mapped.
But in Silas's world, the most dangerous thing isn't the dark-it's the light. And once you've been made visible, you can never go back to the shadows.
