In the refined calm of Newport, Rhode Island, a body is discovered on a harbor pier, drained of every drop of blood. There is no struggle. No violence. Only intention.
Homicide Detective Sam Blanco knows this kind of evil. He escaped New York and the memories of a mass murderer who shattered his career, hoping the ocean would quiet his past. But when a killer who calls himself the Collector begins leaving victims behind like curated exhibits, Sam is pulled back into a darkness more precise and terrifying than anything he's faced before.
The victims are extraordinary brilliant minds arranged with reverence, their deaths part of an elaborate design. As panic spreads and the FBI seizes control, Sam uncovers the truth: this isn't ritual or madness. It's preservation. A philosophy that believes genius should never die, no matter the cost.
When the Collector turns his attention to Sam's wife, Christina, the case becomes brutally personal. Now Sam must outthink a predator who doesn't see people as lives, but as legacies to be claimed.
Dark, intelligent, and relentlessly tense, Fresh Blood is a gripping psychological thriller about obsession, control, and how far one man will go to save the woman he loves, before he becomes part of the collection.
