Now You Don’t – Out January 2026
Detective Cal Dempsey has spent twenty years building walls between her work and her life. Then crime scene photographer Mara Snowden disappears, leaving behind a single photograph: a murder victim with three words—For U Callisto. A name Dempsey buried at eighteen that no one should know.
Assigned to find her missing colleague, Dempsey uncovers a journal in Mara’s apartment filled with photographs taken without her knowledge. Proof that for years, someone has been watching. Wanting.
As evidence leads toward a truth she can’t arrest, Dempsey must decide: what is justice worth when someone finally makes you feel alive?
