DuMoire: The Silent Pulse

By L J Ribar

Kai DuMoire can feel their suffering.

The dog locked in the sweltering car. The cats caged in filth. The animals abandoned by a system that was supposed to protect them. His empathic ability draws him through the city like a pulse-and when he discovers that complaints about animal cruelty have been ignored for years, he makes a choice.

He becomes the Ghost.

For three months, Kai operates in shadows. Breaking into cars. Infiltrating buildings. Saving lives the system has abandoned. The city calls him a folk hero. The police call him a criminal. But when his rescues lead him to Leonard Grayson-a city council member running illegal puppy mills under political protection-Kai realizes he's stumbled onto something bigger than one man can stop.

Detective Sienna Halbrook has spent seventeen years believing in the system. Now she's assigned to catch the Ghost, and she's good at her job. But as she closes in on Kai, she uncovers an uncomfortable truth: the vigilante she's hunting might be the only one willing to act against a criminal the system refuses to touch.

When their paths collide, both must face an impossible question: What happens when justice and law are no longer the same thing?

DUMOIRE is a gripping psychological thriller about systemic failure, impossible choices, and what we're willing to sacrifice for those who have no voice.
