Paper Trails

In a city frozen by fear, a killer turns classic crime novels into blueprints for murder. A disgraced bank compliance officer, a cynical federal prosecutor, and a grieving widow are drawn into a labyrinth of literary homage, where every clue is a quotation and every chapter claims a life. As the body count rises and the legal system scrambles, they discover that survival isn't about justice—it's about outlasting the story, and that morality is just a luxury for those who aren't running out of time.
