Darkness crept through every corner of the old Parker mansion. Detective Sarah Miller parked her cruiser near the iron gates. Rain pounded against the windshield like thousands of tiny bullets. Inside, a body lay sprawled across the grand marble staircase. Blood had pooled beneath the victim, staining centuries-old stone. The victim's eyes stared blankly upward, frozen in final terror. Lightning flashed outside, casting strange shadows through stained glass. Sarah pulled latex gloves over her hands with practiced care. Someone in this house was a killer hiding in plain. Tonight, she would make sure the truth came to light.
