The Dark Side of the Mirror 
An LGBTQ Thriller

After narrowly surviving a copycat killer, Jace Lannister is hungry for normalcy with his partner in their storied corner of New York. But being Black, gay, and the son of a serial killer — the Brooklyn Butcher — isn’t exactly the recipe for a regular life.

Still, Jace is ready to rebuild a life outside the walls of his father’s legacy, a murder room that housed 19 victims before his father killed himself in prison. A room that’s sealed off beneath the floorboards of the reopened deli Jace wants to make his own.

When the courthouse steps are littered with human remains, wrapped in undeniably familiar butcher paper, it ignites his father’s diehard fan base … and the theory he is still somehow alive.

Are the theories true? Had his father faked his death after all? Or is Jace unknowingly looking at the killer each time he looks in the mirror?
