    Summary

    When psychology student Azazel begins noticing a pattern of unsolved murders in her town, she can't look away. The victims are unconnected. The killer - or killers - are ghosts in the system. But one thing repeats every time: a circle slashed through by an X, carved like a brand into the scene.

    Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.

    And the satisfaction happened to be a certain woman assigned to teach Azazel a lesson. The line between obsession and truth blurs as her dreams bleed into waking life, and her sense of control starts to rot.
