I'm Already Dead

Mark Miller was eight years old when the world he trusted collapsed in a single wet, unforgiving night. His mother didn't survive the crash. His father decided who did the surviving — and who deserved to be blamed.

What grew inside Mark in the years that followed wasn't rage. It was precision.

Now an outwardly successful security executive in Seattle, Mark moves through the rain-slicked city as two men: the calm founder building an empire, and the patient predator refining a discipline learned in violence. He doesn't kill without reason — or so he tells himself. Every disappearance is deliberate. Every silence is earned.

Special Agent Spencer Wilson doesn't believe in coincidence. When Seattle's homicide numbers stop making sense, he's the one assigned to find out why — a methodical mind against a killer who has spent a lifetime disappearing in plain sight.

I'm Already Dead is a slow-burn descent into the psychology of inherited violence: how a boy blamed for his mother's death became something the city would come to fear, and what it costs to hunt a monster who was built, not born.
