The Peace of the Wolves

A quiet boy. A city gripped by fear. A legacy written in blood.

Ashford Valley never noticed Raymond Kessler—an outsider, a loner, a shadow in the margins. But shadows don't stay silent forever. By the time the 1980s roll in, Cleveland has a name for him: The Butcher.

In the city's darkest alleys and forgotten corners, Raymond unleashes a brutal reign of terror. Broken bodies. No witnesses. No clear pattern—until two relentless detectives start putting the pieces together.

Detectives Daniel Graves and Samuel Holt are chasing a ghost, racing time itself to uncover the truth. But with each step closer to Raymond, they're drawn into a deeper nightmare. Because catching a killer might not be enough. Some evils don't die—they echo.

The Peace of the Wolves is a chilling, character-driven crime thriller that explores the birth of a monster—and the legacy of darkness he leaves behind. Perfect for fans of Mindhunter, The Silence of the Lambs, and True Detective.

One killer's end may only be the beginning.
