Echo Murders: A Psychological Crime Thriller

He shot an innocent man. Now, the real killer is back to celebrate.

Five years ago, Detective Jack Corrigan's career-and his life-died in a dark alley. The "Sanctuary" case, a brutal home invasion that left a family slaughtered, ended when Jack cornered and killed the prime suspect. The shooting was ruled justified, but the truth was a ghost that haunted him, costing him his badge, his reputation, and his soul. Now, Jack lives in a haze of cheap whiskey and regret, a disgraced ex-cop working dead-end security gigs in the sun-bleached wasteland of the San Fernando Valley.

But the past is never dead in Los Angeles. It's just waiting to be resurrected.

When a tech mogul is found murdered in his Hollywood Hills mansion, the scene is chillingly familiar. The staging, the single, precise wound-it's a perfect recreation of one of Jack's coldest cases. The killer's calling card is a direct message to the man who let him get away: an antique silver compass left on the victim's chest, its needle pointing directly at Jack's apartment.

Pulled back into the world he fled, Jack becomes a reluctant consultant in a game he doesn't understand. A new killer, dubbed "The Echo" by the media, is not just a copycat. He's a perfectionist, a ghost who knows every secret detail of Jack's old investigations. With each new murder, another of Jack's unsolved cases is brought screaming back to life, each victim a testament to his past failures.

Hunted by the police who see him as a suspect, and tormented by a killer who seems to know him better than he knows himself, Jack is forced to confront the graveyard of his own career. But as he digs deeper into the mind of the monster he's chasing, he uncovers a conspiracy far more terrifying than a simple string of murders. The Echo isn't just recreating the crimes; he's correcting Jack's mistakes, and every new body is a lesson.

The final lesson will be Jack's own.

From the bestselling author Edan Alexander and Marble and Sage Editions comes a relentless, high-octane psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the final, shocking twist.

In a city of fallen angels, Jack Corrigan must confront the demon he helped create, or become the final echo himself.
