Synopsis/Details

After a horrific murder inside a church confessional, veteran detective Callahan is drawn into a case that defies logic and evidence. The victim appears to have been attacked mid-confession—by something that was never seen entering or leaving.

As similar killings emerge, each more disturbing than the last, Callahan crosses paths with Elena Cruz, a sharp, relentless journalist who believes the murders are connected by more than coincidence. Together, they uncover a terrifying pattern: each victim is forced to confess a deeply buried truth moments before their death.

What begins as an investigation turns into a descent into something far more sinister—a presence that doesn’t hunt randomly, but listens… waiting for guilt, lies, and hidden sins to surface.

As the phenomenon spreads beyond a single location, Callahan is forced to confront his own past, realizing that the only way to stop the entity may be to give it exactly what it wants: the truth.

But some truths don’t set you free.

Some get you killed.

I’m an multi-optioned screenwriter who, in a previous life, served as a police detective, mastering the delicate art of negotiating hostage situations. Retirement led me down a different path—teaching and writing—a journey that began with my first non-fiction book, which became an Amazon best-seller. That success ignited my passion for storytelling and introduced the world to my indomitable protagonist, FBI agent Jeannie Loomis. Believing that the ends justify the means, Jeannie has become the heart of a gripping 18-novel thriller series. My historical fiction script The Beautiful Beast was selected as a quarter-finalist in the 2025 PAGE competition. The Phantom Train script was selected in… Go to bio
