About The Crucifier

As a sadistic serial killer crucifies victims across New York City, FBI Agent Gabi Longoria fears the murderer’s impossible, superhuman abilities may make him unstoppable. Two years ago, Gabi stopped a global conspiracy and uncovered the existence of superhumans—genetically engineered people with enhanced strength, intelligence, and abilities. Now, nearly 8,000 of these so-called ‘supers’ live hidden among us, their existence a secret the world isn’t ready to face. Gabi and her partner, Ian Armory, are assigned to the case. The killer is ruthless and methodical, staging each body in grotesque, ritualistic displays. With the victims seemingly unconnected—different ages, backgrounds, and lives—the investigation stalls. Is this the work of two killers, a brilliant psychopath, or something even more dangerous: a superhuman turned violent? If a super really is behind the murders, Gabi knows the uneasy truce that keeps their existence hidden could collapse—because a superhuman killer is the one thing that would force the government to expose the truth. And once that secret’s out, the world will never be the same.
