Tobias Reddick: The Polaroid Murders - Book 1

EVERY POLAROID TELLS A LIE—AND EVERY LIE DEMANDS BLOOD.

Rain falls. Hymns echo. A killer leaves Polaroids on the bodies he arranges like works of art.

Each murder is a performance—ritualistic, deliberate, and intimate. The police find no fingerprints, no witnesses… only photographs, a whistle in the dark, and a message no one understands.

In walks Tobias Reddick.

A man out of time, older than he appears—burdened by centuries of life stolen from others. His cursed gift allows him to touch the remnants of violence and slip into what he calls the echoes—the psychic imprints left behind by the dead. Each vision drags him through their final seconds—the terror, the pain, the silence before death. But if he lingers too long, the wounds he witnesses can tear into his own flesh, leaving him bleeding from injuries that aren’t his.

He can heal those wounds—but only by stealing life in return. A breath, a touch, a spark from another soul. Every act of survival costs someone else their own.

Working beside Detective Claire Hale, Tobias chases a killer who stages death like a theater and leaves each scene as a mirror to Tobias’s past. The deeper they go, the more it becomes clear: this murderer isn’t copying Tobias’s methods—he’s taunting them. Every Polaroid, every body, is a confession written for Tobias alone.

And when the killer’s camera turns toward Anna, the woman who once gave up years of her life to save him, Tobias faces the one truth he can’t escape—He is both the hunter and the hunted.

The rain will wash away the blood, but not the echoes. Because some pictures never fade.
