Julian Cross: A Psychological Thriller in Bloomington, MN

JULIAN CROSS - A Psychological Thriller
The desert doesn't forget. It doesn't forgive. And neither does Julian Cross. A slaughterhouse bathed in blood. A message scrawled in something darker. Three bodies, arranged with ritualistic precision. The word REMEMBER carved into the walls like a warning-or a challenge. Julian Cross has spent years trying to outrun the past, but when the bodies start piling up, he's dragged back into a world of violence, shadows, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. The scenes are too familiar, the patterns too calculated. This isn't just another psychopath with a flair for theatrics. This is personal. The deeper Julian digs, the more the past begins to claw its way back to the surface. The name he swore never to speak again is whispered in alleyways. The symbol etched into his nightmares now decorates crime scenes. Every victim is a message, and every message pulls him closer to the one truth he's spent a lifetime denying. Someone is playing a game. Someone who knows him too well. Someone who has been waiting for him to return to the desert. With each crime scene, the line between predator and prey blurs. Old scars reopen. Forgotten sins resurface. The city's underbelly begins to tremble, because Julian isn't the kind of man who runs. Not anymore. But when the final piece of the puzzle falls into place, he'll realize too late- He was never the hunter. He was the bait. And the desert? The desert is always hungry.
