The Writers Mask

On a quiet Oklahoma lake, two fishermen make a horrifying discovery.

What begins as a peaceful night on Lake Thunderbird turns into a nightmare when a body surfaces from the dark water—dragging a small town into a mystery it was never meant to face.

Sheriff Dan Johnson has spent his career protecting a town where nothing ever happens. But this case is different. The victim isn’t local. The evidence doesn’t add up. And the deeper he digs, the more it points to something far beyond Newford.

When a New York detective arrives with a chilling theory—a serial killer who leaves behind symbolic clues—the case takes a dangerous turn.

But the greatest threat may already be inside the town.

Frank Carter is a quiet, well-respected author with a loving family and a peaceful life. No one suspects the truth behind the man he used to be… or the secrets he’s desperate to keep buried.

As the investigation tightens, lines begin to blur between hunter and hunted.
Because in Newford, not everyone is who they claim to be.

And some masks… were never meant to come off.

The Writer’s Mask is a gripping crime thriller of deception, hidden identities, and the past that refuses to stay buried.
