The Man Without a Disguise by Susana Pantera

THE MAN WITHOUT A DISGUISE

Jimmy Evans has spent most of his life learning how to become someone else.

A different face.
A different voice.
A different name.

He learned that people rarely question someone who looks like they belong.

A wedding guest.
A grieving relative.
A volunteer.
A businessman.
A stranger standing quietly in the background.

Jimmy can become all of them.

But his talent has evolved into something far more dangerous.

He watches people.

He studies their lies, their secrets, their private lives and the things they hide behind respectable faces. And when he decides that someone deserves to die, he does not wait for the law.

He becomes their judge.

Detective Sarah Mitchell has seen enough unusual murders to recognize a pattern. The victims have different lives, different backgrounds and seemingly nothing in common.

Except for one thing.

Someone was watching them before they died.

As Sarah and digital-forensics specialist Aaron Cole begin reconstructing the trail, they discover that the killer has been hiding in plain sight for years. Photographs, forgotten identities, old devices, archived records and seemingly insignificant encounters begin to reveal a disturbing history.

But Jimmy has made one mistake.

He has started watching the people who are watching him.

And when one of his judgments goes wrong, the certainty that once made him powerful begins to collapse.

Because what happens when the man who believes he can see through everyone finally realizes that he may not understand himself?
