She thought she was chasing a killer. She didn't realize she was following a script. FBI agent Rebecca "Becky" Davis knows trauma. At twelve, she survived a night that shattered her world - the brutal murder of her mother in their Tampa home. Now, at twenty-six, she's trying to rewrite the past by catching monsters like the one who stole everything from her. But her first homicide case isn't just another murder. It's personal. Victims posed like scenes from a play. Red marbles left behind like curtain calls. And messages that seem to know her deepest fears - and darkest fantasies. The closer Becky gets to the truth, the more the lines blur between reality and performance, justice and obsession. Because someone is watching her. Studying her. Writing her life like a screenplay. And the twist? The killer isn't just someone from the outside. He's someone she's already let in. Dark, disturbing, and unforgettable, Shadowplay is a psychological thriller with razor-sharp suspense, haunting trauma, and a shocking twist that will leave you questioning everything. Perfect for fans of Stephen King, Gillian Flynn, and Mindhunter - this is the chilling first act in The Echo Veil Series.
