Shadows Across the Pacific is a psychological thriller that blurs the line between art and murder, creation and destruction. Set against the neon-lit nights of Tokyo and the rain-drenched streets of Seattle, the novel follows Detective Haruto Sakamoto and FBI agent Eliza Thornton as they hunt down a mysterious killer known as The Architect.
Each murder is not just a crime—it is a carefully crafted masterpiece, a twisted performance that leaves behind cryptic messages about beauty, chaos, and immortality. As the investigators delve deeper into the mind of The Architect, they uncover a hidden world where death is considered the ultimate form of artistic expression.
But with each step closer to the truth, the boundary between hunter and hunted begins to fade. In a race against time, Haruto and Eliza must decipher the killer’s dark philosophy before his final masterpiece is complete.
A gripping tale of obsession, mystery, and the terrifying power of art, Shadows Across the Pacific challenges the very definition of beauty—and the cost of its pursuit.
