He stole everything from her. Now he wants more.Former detective Jill Jacobs has spent years rebuilding after a serial killer known as the Makeup Artist targeted her, dismantled her life, and disappeared. She survived. She walked away. She was done.
Then the bodies start turning up again.
Detectives Daniels and Remalla are hunting a killer with no leads — except for Jill. Her inexplicable telepathic connection to the Makeup Artist is the only thread they have, and they need her to pull it. But going back means reopening a door Jill has fought to keep sealed. And the moment she does, he’ll feel it too.
His obsession never faded. It only waited.
As Jill works alongside the detectives and finds herself unexpectedly drawn to one of them, the Makeup Artist is watching. Planning. Because he was never just a killer she survived — he was a predator who chose her. And he isn’t finished.
First Cut is book one in the Family or Foe Saga — a four-part psychological thriller series where the paranormal and the criminal collide, and the line between hunter and hunted disappears entirely.
