Scott Edwards stocks shelves at Good Meds Pharmacy, caring for his abusive, bedridden mother by night. By day, he watches people, especially women, with an artist's eye. He once created the wildly popular Randomizer app for Hightower Games. Then they stole it, took credit, and destroyed his life. Now he has a new project, one that will make him immortal.
As bodies surface across Lexington, each arranged in elaborate "master studies," Detectives Samuels and West race to connect the patterns before the killer strikes again. What they don't realize is that every victim, every gruesome detail, and every cryptic clue is part of a revenge plot years in the making-a dark masterpiece designed not just to kill, but to reclaim a stolen legacy.
