The Mark of Worms

In the rusting coastal town of Silverwood, reclusive widower Elias Voss lives among the ghosts of his past—his late wife's patent stolen decades ago by the Varens conglomerate, a theft the law never punished. When two intruders break into his crumbling home and take the last thing he holds sacred, the police shrug. But Elias isn't waiting for justice this time. Using his engineer's mind and the detritus of a forgotten life, he transforms his house into a cathedral of retribution. Told in Louise Jensen's signature style of creeping psychological dread and fractured sympathy, this is a story about what happens when society's compassion is merely a performance, and how one broken man decides to make the world finally pay attention.
