"That's definitely a viable angle. You think the mastermind manipulated him into being the scapegoat?"
"Yes."
His gaze turned somber, his tone heavy. "If that's true, we have a massive problem."
The culprit would be brilliant at covering their tracks.
Even if they found proof of the manipulation, it wouldn't be enough for a solid conviction.
Nora stood up and paced across the room.
Her mind was an absolute mess.
"You just said the stalker used this man's life to get my attention."
"But they're hiding away completely, refusing to show their face."
She stopped dead in her tracks, whipping around to look at Nathan. "Is it possible I actually know this person!"
"They're lurking right beside me, eager to watch me suffer, but terrified I might figure out who they are."
"They're chasing the thrill of the hunt. Watching me struggle and panic is exactly what gets them off."
"But they're conflicted. Half of them wants to be caught, while the other half is absolutely horrified by the idea."
Nathan gasped slightly at the chilling theory.
Even though her logic was flawless.
Hearing it out loud still sent a shiver down his spine.
But monsters like that absolutely existed in the real world.
In all his years as a detective, he had put countless criminals behind bars.
