For twenty-four years, he has killed once every year, methodical, precise, utterly remorseless. His victims change, but his cold, unyielding motive remains the same. This is not a confession seeking pity. It’s not a plea for forgiveness. It’s his legacy, laid bare in his own words.
In these pages, you gain rare access to a mind stripped of conscience, a diary that records every calculated step, every twisted thought, every kill flawlessly executed.
He doesn’t care if you understand him. He only cares that you never forget him.
Twenty-four years. Twenty-four victims.
One diary.
And a darkness that could be closer than you think.

This year, a new group of tourists arrives, couples chasing romance, families seeking adventure, curious loners, and none are prepared for what waits inside. The past isn’t silent here; it’s alive and hungry.
Maud’s screams still echo. The cook’s fire still burns. Soldiers march through shadowed corridors. And when the castle doors close, the dead come out to play.

Detective Archer: Dead Heat
The city is burning under an unrelenting summer heatwave, and tensions are dangerously high. When a series of high-profile city officials die in seemingly unconnected incidents, Detective Sloane Archer knows there’s more beneath the surface.
Each crime scene is disturbingly clean, no witnesses, no evidence, no clear motive, except one chilling connection: every victim played a role in burying a cold case Archer barely remembers, a case that was never solved.
Pulled back into the shadows of her past, Archer races against time to unravel the truth while political pressure and internal resistance threaten to derail her investigation. With the killer closing in and the city on edge, Archer must confront the ghosts she thought were long buried.
In a city melting under the heat, survival depends on uncovering secrets before the next victim falls, and before Archer becomes the target.
Detective Archer: Crossfire
A gangland hit in broad daylight should be routine in a city hardened by violence. But Detective Sloane Archer knows this is anything but ordinary.
The victim wasn’t just a street soldier, he was a courier carrying something valuable enough to kill for. And he wasn’t the only one targeted.
As the body count rises and neighborhoods erupt in bloodshed, it seems like a turf war, but the military-grade weapons and ruthless coordination point to a darker force pulling the strings.
The deeper Archer digs, the clearer it becomes: this chaos is a smokescreen hiding a sinister conspiracy. Evidence disappears, witnesses vanish, and someone inside the police force is working hard to keep her out.
With trust shattered and enemies closing in, Archer must fight through a city unraveling at the seams, where the rules have been erased, and survival means breaking every one.
Detective Archer: Ghost Badge
When a decorated officer is found dead in his apartment, it’s ruled suicide. But when another cop turns up dead under eerily similar circumstances, Detective Sloane Archer refuses to accept coincidence.
All the victims shared one thing: they were part of a long-dormant internal investigation and died just before meeting a whistleblower. Someone inside the department is methodically tying off loose ends, and they’ll kill to keep the truth buried.
As Archer digs deeper, she faces obstruction from the brass, scrutiny from Internal Affairs, and isolation from former allies. The walls close in, and danger shadows every move.
In a world where silence is currency and loyalty can get you killed, Archer must uncover the deadly secret lurking inside her own department before she becomes the next ghost behind the badge.
Detective Archer: Bloodline
When a high-profile judge is executed in broad daylight, two bullets, no witnesses, no footage, the city is thrown into chaos. Detective Sloane Archer is handed a case that seems unsolvable, buried under layers of politics, power, and silence.
But this murder is only the surface. As Archer digs deeper, a name keeps surfacing: Marrow. An elite family with untouchable influence and a history wrapped in secrecy. The deeper she goes, the more she realizes she’s facing a dynasty that erases problems and crushes threats.
Every question brings danger. Every move puts Archer under watch. And when bodies begin to fall, the case becomes personal, a war over legacy, blood, and power.
In a city ruled by hidden empires, Archer must decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice to expose the truth, and who she might lose along the way.
Detective Archer: No Witness
A mass shooting in a crowded public square leaves dozens dead or injured, yet not a single eyewitness can say what happened. There’s no video. No suspects. No motive. Just blood, fear, and a corrupted audio file that barely registers above a whisper.
Detective Sloane Archer knows when something doesn’t add up. This isn’t a crime, it’s a message. And it’s not the first.
From city to city, similar incidents surface: high-casualty attacks, no forensics, no suspects, and always the same result, no witnesses. The killers don’t leave clues. They leave silence.
As Archer pushes beyond jurisdictional red tape and political interference, she finds herself isolated, surveilled, and threatened. The truth is too big, too dangerous, and someone wants it buried.
To uncover what really happened, Archer must risk everything: her badge, her career, even her life. Because the only thing more terrifying than a massacre with no witnesses… is realizing you might be next.
Detective Archer: Burning Cross
A historic church reduced to ash. Then a beloved community center. No accelerants, no suspects, only a scorched, carved symbol left behind: a burning cross.
Detective Sloane Archer has seen arson before. But not like this.
The fires aren’t random, they’re calculated acts of terror, targeting sacred places rooted in culture, race, and identity. As public fear grows and politicians scramble to control the narrative, Archer follows the smoke trail into the heart of a violent movement hiding in plain sight. These aren’t just hate crimes, they’re declarations.
And the arsonist isn’t acting alone.
With every blaze, the city teeters closer to open conflict. As Archer races to stop the next attack, the fires grow bolder, more personal, and one of them hits dangerously close to home.
Because this isn’t about flames anymore. It’s about erasure. Cleansing. Control.
And Archer’s name is already in the ashes.
Detective Archer: The Hollow
Beneath a condemned warehouse lies a mutilated body, masked, carved, and buried with ritual precision. No ID. No matching reports. Just a crude symbol etched into the flesh and an eerie, hollow echo where the corpse was found.
Detective Sloane Archer has seen horror before. But this isn’t a crime scene. It’s a message.
As Archer traces the pattern, she’s pulled beneath the surface of the city, literally. Into long-forgotten tunnels, decaying subway stations, and shadows where the law holds no weight. There, she finds whispers of a cult-like subculture built on silence, ritual, and unspeakable beliefs.
No one will talk. Witnesses disappear. And the deeper she digs, the more Archer suspects this isn’t just about murder, it’s about faith. Madness. And the dark places we go to feel seen.
Because The Hollow isn’t a location. It’s a conviction.
And some people will kill to protect it.
Detective Archer: Trigger Code
Different killers. Different weapons. Different victims. But the same haunting refrain: “I don’t remember doing it.”
When a series of murders shakes the city, each perpetrator is caught red-handed, but every one of them insists they blacked out. No motive. No memory. Just blood and confusion. Detective Sloane Archer has seen manipulation before, but this feels colder. Sharper. Programmed.
Her search for answers leads to a disturbing discovery: a string of facial recognition glitches buried deep inside the city’s law enforcement surveillance network. Glitches that aren’t accidental, they’re encrypted commands. Someone is using predictive algorithms and biometric data to hijack everyday people and turn them into killers on demand.
The targets? Arbitrary. Political. Personal.
The next name in the queue? Might be Archer herself.
With time running out and trust eroding from the inside, Archer must hunt down a ghost in the machine, before the system pulls her trigger next.
Detective Archer: Enemy Within
It starts with a whisper, an anonymous tip about a traitor buried inside the department. At first, Detective Sloane Archer writes it off as conspiracy theory. But when two internal affairs agents vanish after opening one file too many, the whisper becomes a scream.
Evidence is disappearing. Suspects are walking. And the rot is coming from within.
As Archer launches a covert investigation into her own, she quickly realizes the corruption is deeper, and older, than she feared. Casework is being sabotaged. Surveillance wiped. Witnesses paid off. And someone is feeding information to criminals before the warrants are even signed.
Every hallway holds secrets. Every partner could be a threat. And when Archer finds herself the target of a smear campaign, and possibly worse, she’s forced to confront a terrifying truth: justice doesn’t just have enemies on the outside. It has traitors in uniform.
And they know exactly where to find her.
Detective Archer: The Last Line
The city is rotting from the inside out, and Detective Sloane Archer is done pretending it can be saved.
When a prominent whistleblower is found dead under suspicious circumstances, Archer stumbles onto the final thread of a sprawling conspiracy that connects decades of cover-ups, assassinations, and institutional rot. The justice system she swore to uphold is no longer wounded, it’s weaponized.
With every step closer to the truth, Archer sheds what little protection her badge once offered. Friends turn into spies. Cases disappear. Evidence is erased. And the city’s most powerful forces have declared open war on the one detective they couldn’t buy or bury.
This isn’t about procedure anymore. It’s personal. It's survival.
With the force against her and time running out, Archer becomes the only barrier between total collapse and one last shot at justice.
Because when the last line breaks, there’s no system left to protect you.
Only vengeance.
Gild
In a forgotten corner of Old North Knoxville, Eliot Vale is a sculptor in name only, washed up, worn down, and haunted by the promise of a talent that never bloomed. The once-rising artist now drinks through the rusting days in his decaying craftsman home, surrounded by unfinished pieces and dust-thick disappointment.
But one night, something strange happens in his backyard studio. A freak accident leaves behind a sculpture, so lifelike, so eerie, it feels wrong. Sacred. Cursed. Or both.
Then he touches it. And everything changes.
Suddenly, his hands work like they used to, no, better. He can feel the material before he carves. His pieces shimmer with life. The buyers come quickly. The money follows. So does the hunger. Because creation demands sacrifice. And Eliot’s newfound genius? It doesn't just come from him.
It feeds on him. On others.
And once you've made something out of flesh and gold... how do you stop?
Genie
Cass didn’t believe in magic. Why would she? Life was messy and cruel, full of debts, dead ends, and the slow ache of surviving. Then the stranger appeared, unassuming, calm, impossibly ordinary, and offered her what no one else ever had: a way out.
No rules. No fine print. Just a single promise: You can wish for anything.
She started small. A quiet hope. A minor change. Nothing dangerous. Until the first body dropped.
Now, every wish, no matter how kind, how careful, ripples outward in devastation. People vanish. Others die in brutal, twisted ways that defy logic. Cass tries to stop, to undo what she’s unleashed. But the Genie doesn’t want her to stop. It wants her to need it.
And it’s always watching. In the mirror. In the crowd. In the silence between her thoughts.
Because this isn’t about granting wishes. It’s about feeding on them. And Cass is running out of time.
Black Thread
In a city where silence is currency and influence is everything, the sudden disappearance of a powerful tech magnate rattles more than headlines, it exposes fractures in the foundation of everything people thought they knew.
Eve Mercer never intended to return. Once one of the best hostage negotiators in the country, she stepped away after a negotiation went horribly wrong. But when a cryptic abduction shakes the city, and the only demand is a single name, Eve is pulled back into a world that nearly broke her.
The kidnappers aren’t after money. They want a truth buried deep, a truth too dangerous to say out loud. As Eve digs into the case, alliances blur, old scars reopen, and buried names resurface, names that were meant to stay erased. Every thread leads back to a past she thought she’d escaped, and every answer pulls her closer to something she was never supposed to find.
Some names carry weight. Others carry death.
Lambeth
They said Elijah Rowe died in a fire, drug-related, accidental, tragic. Case closed. But those who knew Elijah don’t believe in accidents. Not in Lambeth. Not when he worked for the council’s housing department. Not when his last emails hinted at something buried deep, files that disappeared, names that never made it to the official reports, and doors to children’s homes that should have stayed shut forever.
Twenty years later, journalist Mara Devlin returns to the borough she escaped. Her brother is dead, found alone in a derelict squat, his pockets empty except for a torn notebook filled with names no one else seems to know. Names that don’t exist in any council archive. Names that link back to Elijah. And to something worse.
As Mara digs, she uncovers a legacy of silence, of abuse, betrayal, and systemic cover-up stretching back decades. And someone wants her quiet, just like they silenced Elijah. Just like they’ve silenced others before her.
Because in Lambeth, not everyone who vanishes stays gone. Some get rewritten. And some… get erased.
