The Inked Reaper (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798349256349)

At just 18, Tyler is a prodigy-a rising literary star whose bestselling novels captivate millions. He's the devoted boyfriend every girl dreams of, the pride of his father, Detective William Grayson, and the golden boy of his community. But beneath the surface lies a far darker truth. When the city descends into darkness, Tyler dons a different identity: the Inked Reaper.

As the Inked Reaper, Tyler is a vigilante, a shadowy figure who hunts the most despicable members of society-rapists, murderers, and child traffickers. Fueled by a code of justice inspired by the criminals his father's system failed to punish, Tyler operates in the shadows, leaving behind chilling calling cards: Polaroids capturing his victims' final moments, each accompanied by a cryptic, haunting poem. To the world, he is a ghost-a faceless figure whose macabre acts both terrify and intrigue the public.

But Tyler's double life begins to spiral out of control when his crimes draw national attention, sparking a frantic police investigation. At the forefront is Detective Grayson himself, determined to stop the Inked Reaper at all costs, unaware that the very man he's hunting is his own son. As the investigation tightens, Tyler's web of secrets becomes harder to maintain, and his carefully constructed life starts to crumble.

Adding to the pressure is local journalist Jerry West, a man whose fascination with the Reaper's story quickly turns into an all-consuming obsession. Jerry sees the case as his ticket to fame, and his relentless pursuit of the Reaper leads him to cross ethical and moral boundaries. The closer Jerry gets to uncovering the truth, the more dangerous his actions become, threatening not only Tyler's secrets but also the lives of everyone in his orbit.

As Tyler struggles to balance his daytime life with his shadowy alter ego, the weight of his choices begins to take a toll. His relationships-his girlfriend's love, his father's trust, his reputation as a promising young author-are all at risk. The lines between justice and vengeance blur, and Tyler begins to question the morality of his actions. Is the justice he delivers worth the destruction it brings?
