In Ravenwood, a quiet American coastal city swallowed nightly by fog, a blind man walks into a police station and calmly confesses: “I killed nine people. The tenth is dying as we speak.” No one believes him. Because Elias Crow, blind since a brutal accident in his teens, is the last person anyone would imagine capable of overpowering young, healthy adults—much less committing the most disturbing series of murders the city has ever seen. Each victim tortured. Each crime scene spotless. No fingerprints, no DNA, no mistakes. Assigned to deal with him is Officer Maren Holt, the precinct’s least-valued rookie—dismissed for being “too soft,” sidelined for being a woman, and ignored whenever she insists her instincts are right. But when Elias begins detailing the murders with impossible precision—times, methods, the private habits of the victims—Maren realizes something horrifying: He isn’t lying. He knows things only the killer could know. And when he finally reveals the motive, the entire investigation twists into something darker than revenge: “You all told me she was ‘just a dog.’ But she was my eyes. My family. My last light.” As Maren pushes deeper, her world cracks open—corrupt officials, missing evidence, a child who knows too much, and a truth hidden behind the one person she trusted most. When the tenth victim’s fate begins to unfold, Maren faces a terrifying possibility: The perfect murderer… might not be the blind man sitting across from her.
