The Shape of the Lie

By Kim B.

She was supposed to be an easy target-drunk, alone, vulnerable. Instead, she became something else entirely.

Twice, she was taken. Twice, she survived. But survival wasn't enough anymore. When a predator in a Manhattan bar made the mistake of choosing her, she chose him right back. She tied him down, made him feel what she'd felt, and marked him with a signature he'd never forget. The rush of power was intoxicating-and addictive.

For years, she hunts through the city's nightlife, a phantom in a different wig each time. She's careful, methodical, leaving behind only a carved X and a warning: there are consequences now. But when her high school rapist turns up murdered in her exact style, everything unravels. The police are closing in. Her victims are talking. And she's running out of alibis.

As the investigation tightens and a copycat emerges from her past, she must decide what she's truly capable of protecting-and what she's willing to lose. Can she outrun the woman she's become, or is vengeance the only truth that will ever set her free?
