Dylan Sharpe rebuilt his life on two principles: systems prevent harm, and restraint is strength.
As a security consultant specializing in child safety, he's finally doing work that matters. When surveillance reveals Rodney Stillwell-a predator circling the after-school programs his nine-year-old son attends-Dylan does exactly what he's trained to do.
He documents patterns. He coordinates with authorities. He identifies the critical flaw: a twelve-minute gap between supervision shifts. Stillwell won't act yet. Not with Dylan watching. Not with the system tightening around him.
Then Bella Donna Bannister arrives.
Elegant, precise, and lethally certain, Bella doesn't build cases. She eliminates threats. She's been doing it for years, leaving sunflowers as the only trace. And she warns Dylan that the twelve-minute gap he's identified is enough-enough for a man who knows how to wait.
Dylan stops her. He insists on procedure. On evidence. On letting the law do its work.
The law does work. Exactly as designed.
By the time it arrives, the harm Dylan feared most has already happened. And now he must answer the question that will haunt him forever: Was he protecting innocence-or enabling evil?
In the tradition of Patricia Highsmith, Even Sunflowers Die is a slow-burn psychological thriller about the terrible cost of doing everything right.
Perfect for readers who loved Gone Girl, The Silent Patient, and Before I Go to Sleep.
