No Reason for Evil

Julian Croft was a man who had erased his past and was ready to rewrite his future on the blood-stained streets of Northbridge. When he engineers a brutal police beating that mirrors the infamous Phillips v. Hayes case, he does so not for money or revenge, but to bait the most dangerous game. The trap attracts Dominic Voss, a merciless fixer who runs a syndicate of elite legal predators skilled at turning police brutality into a fortune. But Julian hasn't chosen a new life for redemption; he has chosen it to prove a chilling thesis: the purest evil is a performance with no motive but the pleasure of watching predators devour themselves. In a world where everyone is a predator, Julian Croft is the apex ghost, and his five-chapter symphony of manipulation will reveal that the most terrifying monsters are those who smile for no reason at all.
