The Profiler's Shadow
Joelle Circé
Mary Dubois’s quiet life as a writer shatters when the Sûreté du Québec arrives at her door. A sadistic killer is staging gruesome tableaux in the Québec wilderness, and he’s left a message: he will only communicate with Mary. Mary, a trans woman and former profiler, must leave her hard-won seclusion to hunt a monster who seems to know her every move and weakness. Reunited with her ex-lover, Officer Teresa Cook, and forced to confront the open hostility of her old tormentors in the police force, Mary is drawn deeper into a web of psychological warfare. The killer’s notes are not just clues; they are invitations into a shared, violent history she never knew she had. To stop the slaughter, Mary will have to turn her terrifying insight inwards to her own bloodline—before she becomes his final masterpiece.
