    About this ebook

    When FBI agent Mitch Goodman is forced to travel to Los Angeles and assist a local female detective with a homicide investigation, it's just another way to pass the time and possibly get laid.

    Once there, he finds a mystery that he can't explain: a man has been splattered all over his bedroom wall in thousands of tiny pieces. No evidence of forced entry, or entry of any kind.

    After other killings begin to occur in the are, what he comes to believe defies explanation, that he has stumbled upon the trail of a hitman who kills his victims using a supernatural ability without ever leaving the safety of his apartment.

    As the investigation deepens, however, he will discover that the truth is much more sinister.

      1. As much as I may rack my brain, there are 15 minutes or so in the dark that I can’t account for and that I’ll never get back—15 minutes during which, I have to think, that creep’s hands were touching my body. It’s a weird thing to think about all

      The After

      He is sitting opposite me, staring blankly like a dead fish. Stone eyes. Cobalt and lifeless. Pale gray skin, dripping scales. I imagine him hauled out of the water and dumped on the riverbank, gasping for breath. Just as he deserves. I only agreed t
