5 STAR REVIEW: "Shatters expectations... Murphy delivers a pulse-pounding novel full of suspense and sharp wit. A roller-coaster pace barrels dynamic characters across the page with unwavering finesse. It's the sexiest thriller of the year, with a dynamite final act that stays with you long after the last page." - Sam Smith
ABOUT THE BOOK: What if your reflection was not your own? For Jace Lannister, it's not always easy being black and gay in the weird world of Portland. It doesn't help that he's the son of the Brooklyn Butcher, the notorious serial killer who claimed nineteen lives in the early '90s before escaping justice. With buried secrets and a new identity, Jace has created a new life for himself far from his blood-stained roots. But all is shattered when a gruesome murder surfaces echoing the past, fueled by his father's dark legacy. Has the Brooklyn Butcher returned? Is history destined to repeat itself in the image of his son? Or is something far more sinister emerging from the other side of the mirror?
