Spirits follow, haunting and taunting,
Detective Jonah Elmore, and it's all his father's
fault.

A six worded question nags at him every day, has from the very beginning ever since he caught sight of a bloody t-shirt in his father's shed, constantly on the forefront of his neverending thoughts.

Will I turn out like him?

Until a succession of threats are left at his office, on his porch, and eventually inside of his home, posing yet another nagging question that starts to gnaw away at his brain stems.

Nobody is aware of his identity, or more accurately, the identity of his father, whose surname was expunged from his file. It was supposed to be a fresh start. Or rather, it was meant to be.

However, someone knows. He can sense them.
They're so very close. But how much, and who?

(What if it's you?)

(God, but it can't be me.)

. . . Can it?

APRIL SPEAKS!

𓆱       surprise! my newfound admiration for
            callum turner combined with a book i'm
            currently reading brought this idea to life.
            i hope i do what i've concocted in my head
            justice & y'all enjoy this one.

𓆱    jonah is the most complex character i've
         ever dared to write. please be advised that
he is written from a very morally gray
         perspective (but he's working on it, so
         cut him some slack!)

𓆱       just an fyi, nothing is as it seems. enjoy!
