About this book

“Dead Reckoning” is a gripping psychological thriller that delves deep into the mind of Peter Ashby, an investment banker whose success hides a dark secret—he’s a killer.

 

Haunted by his traumatic past, Peter justifies each murder, believing it to be righteous. From his first act of rage-driven violence to his carefully orchestrated revenge, he walks a dangerous line between justice and obsession.

 

But when his love, Estella, is accused of a crime he committed, his world begins to unravel. As the trial looms, Peter is forced to confront his true nature and the choices that brought him to this moment. Is redemption possible, or will his past finally consume him?

 

Peter Ashby has achieved everything he ever dreamed of: wealth, success, and international renown as an investment banker. But behind his polished exterior lies a dark truth—he has killed four people, and each time, he convinced himself it was justified.

Haunted by a traumatic childhood in a brutal children’s home, Peter’s first act of violence was driven by anger and chance. His second was a meticulously planned revenge against his abuser. When the love of his life, Estella, is trapped in a toxic marriage, Peter’s obsession drives him to kill again, this time engineering a near-perfect crime, killing both Estella’s husband and the man he set up as a patsy to mislead the police.

 

But perfection is elusive, and Peter’s carefully crafted life begins to unravel when Estella is accused of her husband’s murder—a crime only Peter knows she didn’t commit. Caught between his love for her and the fear of exposing his own guilt, Peter faces an impossible choice: protect himself or save the woman who once showed him kindness. As Estella’s trial looms, Peter must confront the monster he has become and decide if redemption is even possible.

 

DEAD RECKONING is a gripping psychological thriller that explores love, obsession, and the thin line between justice and revenge.
