Murder's Mockery. Rachel Bower, #1

Detective Rachel Bower thought she'd buried the past when she escaped the clutches of a sadistic killer who turned murder into performance art. But when a new victim is found staged in a grotesque tableau eerily reminiscent of her own trauma, Rachel is forced back into the spotlight-this time as both investigator and bait. As the body count rises, Rachel must navigate a maze of forensic misdirection, media manipulation, and psychological warfare.
The killer isn't just mocking justice-he's rewriting the rules. And Rachel's unraveling grip on reality may be the final piece he needs to complete his masterpiece. In a world where truth is twisted and survival is never simple, Murder's Mockery is a taut psychological thriller that asks, how do you catch a killer who's already inside your head?
