关于此电子书

When renowned surgeon Dr. Samuel Price is found brutally murdered in his upscale home—his body left with precisely placed stab wounds and a scalpel positioned beside him—Detective Alex Mercer knows this isn’t just a homicide. It’s a message.

As Mercer digs deeper, he discovers chilling similarities to an unsolved murder from a decade ago—a case that still haunts him. With a growing list of suspects, including Price’s estranged son, a vengeful former patient, and a shadowy figure from the past, Mercer must navigate a web of deception, secrets, and long-buried grudges.

But when he receives an anonymous letter echoing the killer’s words from ten years ago—"Some wounds never heal"—Mercer realizes the truth is far more disturbing than he imagined.

This isn’t just a murder investigation. It’s a game. And the killer isn’t finished.

Perfect for fans of Tess Gerritsen, Michael Connelly, and Gillian Flynn, Knifed is a gripping psychological thriller that will keep you on edge until the very last page.

Will Mercer catch the killer before another body drops? Or is he already too late?

作者简介

Claire Smith is an emerging voice in the world of psychological thrillers and suspense fiction. With a talent for weaving hauntingly atmospheric stories, Claire explores the darker corners of human nature, small-town secrets, and the consequences of silence. Her debut novel, No One Believed Her: A Teenage Girl’s Disappearance and the Killer Next Door, has captivated readers with its gripping twists and emotionally charged narrative, shining a spotlight on the fragile veneer of suburban perfection. Growing up in a small town herself, Claire draws inspiration from her own experiences living in tight-knit communities where everyone has something to hide. Her fascination with true crime stories and human psychology fuels her storytelling, as she masterfully blends the psychological tension of Gillian Flynn with the relatable drama of Liane Moriarty. When Claire isn’t crafting chilling mysteries, she enjoys exploring hidden hiking trails, sipping coffee while poring over true crime documentaries, and spending time with her rescue dog, Max. She believes that stories have the power to not only entertain but also challenge societal norms, making readers question what they think they know about the world around them. Claire lives in the countryside with her husband, Max, and an ever-growing collection of crime novels. No One Believed Her is the first of many planned novels exploring the interplay of fear, guilt, and survival in the face of tragedy.
