Spotless

In the rain-slicked streets of Veridia, a charismatic predator leaves a trail of suicides, each victim groomed and broken by emotional coercion. When investigator Elara Voss discovers the pattern, she knows the only way to stop him is to become his next target. But stepping into his world of manufactured affection and psychological destruction forces her to confront her own haunted past. This is not a story of triumphant justice. It is a story of keeping one small part of yourself clean, even as the whole world rots around you.
