The Strawman - A chilling psychological thriller set in the frozen heart of Alaska.
On a bitterly cold Christmas Eve in 1993, the body of a young woman-missing for ten years-is found on a desolate road outside Moose Creek, Alaska. It's ruled a hit-and-run. But when pregnant women start disappearing without a trace, the truth becomes far more horrifying.
Their corpses are later discovered, grotesquely preserved through taxidermy, posed in macabre theatrical scenes. The work of a meticulous and sadistic serial killer the press calls the Strawman.
With a rising body count and the town gripped by fear, Officer Gustavo, a weary local investigator, teams up with Allegra, a sharp, determined detective from the South. Together, they must navigate a maze of secrets, grief, and escalating brutality before the killer strikes again.
Can they stop a psychopath who sees murder as art? Or will they become part of his final masterpiece?
Dark, suspenseful, and disturbingly atmospheric, The Strawman will keep you turning pages long into the night-and stay with you long after the final reveal.
