The Mask Collector

In the rain-soaked streets of Seattle, every face hides a secret—and every secret leaves a mask behind.

When homicide detective Mara Ellison is called to a chilling crime scene, she finds the victim staged beneath an antique Venetian mask. As more bodies appear—each wearing masks from different cultures—Mara realizes the killer isn’t just collecting faces… they’re collecting truths.

Each murder peels back a layer of Mara’s own buried past. The clues point to someone who knows her better than anyone alive—someone who remembers the “mask games” she played as a child. When the evidence links the killings to her own family, Mara must confront the one horror she’s never faced: her father’s legacy of abuse and control.

As the line between hunter and hunted blurs, Mara descends into a psychological labyrinth where memory, identity, and guilt intertwine. But in a city of shadows, the most terrifying mask may be the one she still wears herself.
