The Bracelet Man

A Kara Valens Case

A fifty-year-old signature connects three forgotten murders. For Kara Valens, the obsessive host of the popular online cold case forum "Unsolved Threads," the twisted POW/MIA bracelets are a chilling discovery. Her explosive post linking the 1969 slayings goes viral, breathing new life into a historical crime. But it also attracts a ghost from the past.

A cryptic comment appears from a shadow account: “You missed one.”

The message vanishes as quickly as it came, launching Kara into a hunt for a killer who has operated in the shadows for decades. The trail leads from dusty microfilm to a delinquent storage locker filled with morbid souvenirs. But the real threat isn't a ghost. He's a beloved community historian, a war hero hiding in plain sight, and he's been waiting for someone to appreciate his life's work.

He isn't just a killer; he's a curator of death, and he has chosen Kara as his final biographer. To unmask a monster who has perfected the art of the invisible crime, Kara must step out from behind her screen and into a deadly game of cat and mouse, where the only prize for winning is survival.
