In the shadowy underworld of power and privilege, Dr. Selina Cross is a forensic psychologist with a rare gift: she can uncover anyone's darkest secrets with a single glance. Her skill has made her an indispensable ally to law enforcement—but also a dangerous enemy to those with skeletons to hide.

When a string of gruesome murders rocks an affluent enclave, Selina is called in to profile the killer. Each crime scene is a macabre masterpiece, sending cryptic messages that baffle investigators. But when Selina finds a chilling connection between the killings and her own family's shattered past, the case becomes personal.

As she manipulates her way into the victims' inner circles, Selina discovers a web of corruption and lies, all tied to a secretive organization linked to her father's mysterious death and her sister's disappearance. With the FBI watching her every move and a killer who seems to know her better than she knows herself, Selina must confront her deepest fears and darkest desires.

But as the line between justice and revenge blurs, one question haunts her: is she hunting a killer—or becoming one?

House of Smoke is a gripping psychological thriller that explores identity, obsession, and the high cost of uncovering the truth. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Tana French, and Paula Hawkins.
