A relationship ended. A deadly obsession began.
When Daniel Price is found murdered inside his St. Louis condominium, Detective Sergeant Mick Callahan and his partner, Darius Coleman, confront a crime scene filled with unsettling contradictions. There is no forced entry. Nothing valuable appears to be missing. And whoever pulled the trigger was someone Daniel trusted enough to invite inside.
As the detectives examine Daniel's complicated romantic history, they uncover connections to a popular dating app-and to other men whose suspicious deaths were never linked. Each victim had secrets. Each left behind former partners, angry relatives, and betrayed lovers with reasons to seek revenge. Yet beneath the obvious motives lies a far more disturbing possibility.
Someone has been hiding behind false identities, watching new relationships unfold and patiently waiting for the right moment to strike.
When another potential target receives a chilling warning, Callahan and Coleman realize the killer may already be planning the next move. To prevent another murder, they must navigate digital disguises, buried grudges, and carefully staged crime scenes-while questioning whether their strongest suspect is the predator they seek or another carefully planted distraction.
A tense St. Louis police procedural about trust, rejection, and obsession, The Rejected will keep readers guessing about the killer's identity until the final pieces fall into place.
