Savage Grace

In the gleaming towers of Ashton, a city built on old bones and fresh lies, one man's brutal beating by county deputies is ruled "unfortunate but lawful." The victim, Leon Vance, once a quiet mechanic, disappears into the shadows. Months later, a series of ritualistic murders begins—each corpse a deputy who stood by and watched, each crime scene a gallery of exposed hypocrisy. But when Leon finally confronts the ringleader, he sees his own reflection in the blade: a creature no different from the monsters he swore to destroy.
