Stained Belief

Belief is supposed to make a witness less alone. This time, it gives the killer another body. Miriam Orwick survives the night a service technician enters her sister's home. Erin does not. Miriam's account should lead police toward the man who murdered her. Instead, its contradictions turn suspicion toward Erin's husband and split an already damaged family. Then Gareth finally believes her. His hand closes around a wrist that is not there. Soon, people who sincerely accept a survivor's account begin reconstructing fragments of the killer's movements: pressure without a source, pain learned in somebody else's room, a killing grip searching for a victim. No vision reveals his face. No supernatural clue will stand in court. And when the murderer realizes other bodies are carrying his most private actions, he begins teaching them new ones. Seventeen-year-old Eden may be the only person who can separate the pattern from the truth. But the closer she comes, the more useful her own body becomes to the man hunting her. Stained Belief is a relentless supernatural horror thriller about testimony, doubt, and the terrible cost of being believed.
