THIS ISN’T ABOUT JUSTICE WEARING A BADGE.
IT’S ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN JUSTICE GETS TIRED OF WAITING.
Your sister was tortured and murdered twenty years ago. A homeless veteran was convicted. He died in prison. You’ve carried that grief like an open wound ever since—the knowledge that some truths get buried when the wrong people are involved.
Now another fourteen-year-old girl has vanished from the exact same elite country club.
The killer is dead. This shouldn’t be possible.
You’ll feel the past kick down the door as investigator Nick Winston arrives asking questions that have no answers. Because this isn’t a mystery. It’s something worse.
Meanwhile, someone calling themselves The Surgeon starts appearing—carving messages into prominent men who thought they were untouchable. Eyes removed. Tongue cut out. Ears destroyed. Hands amputated. Each surgical attack broadcast live with one cryptic demand: #stopsabine.
Hear no evil. Speak no evil. See no evil.
You’ll inhabit the shoes of Dr. Stasia King, an ER physician carrying two decades of grief that never softened. You’ll live in the space where rage turns sharp and restraint snaps. Where you have to decide how far you’re willing to go when the law already chose the wrong side.
Because this isn’t about catching a killer. It’s about watching justice and vengeance become indistinguishable. About realizing this was never a mystery—it was a transaction. Silence bought and paid for. Girls treated as collateral damage.
And now the bill is finally due.
The violence is surgical and deliberate. The corruption runs deeper than you can imagine. Not everyone’s hands stay clean. But there’s always found family—people who don’t flinch, don’t look away, and stand between the monsters and the next girl.
This is a brutal, intimate psychological thriller about power, violence, and what it costs to drag the truth into the open when everyone else would rather keep it locked away.
It is part of the Komorebi world, but it can be read as a standalone.
If you like Karin Slaughter, Criminal Minds, and thrillers that don’t comfort you or soften the edges, step into LITTLE DOVES.
