THE MAIN CHARACTER

Danger doesn't knock in Jamira Waters' world-it slips in quietly, attaches itself to ordinary days, and turns them into nightmares.What begins as holiday chaos in New York suddenly folds into something darker. A neighbor is beaten nearly to death. A friend disappears on the way home. A cousin is found murdered in a park. A coworker vanishes without a trace. And the violence stalking Jamira's life somehow keeps inching closer to the people she loves.When her father is brutally attacked in the same manner, Jamira knows this isn't random-it's deliberate. It's organized. It's personal.But the police don't see a pattern. Her family won't tell the truth. And a stack of Amazon packages-each containing a stroller she never ordered-keeps showing up like warnings written in cardboard.Someone is watching her. Someone is keeping score. Someone has her family's names written on a list.As Jamira fights to protect her parents, distance her loved ones, escape her toxic relationship, and outrun a fear she can't fully name, a deeper mystery surfaces-one buried in her family's past, whispered about for decades, denied by everyone who knows the truth.Because the person hunting her isn't a stranger. They're connected to a secret her family swore never happened.Now Jamira has one choice: Follow the trail before she becomes the next missing face on the wall... or be swallowed whole by a danger that's been waiting for her since before she was even born.A gritty, unsettling, true-to-life urban thriller where the shadows feel familiar, the fear feels earned, and survival isn't guaranteed.
