The First Secret

A little over a decade ago, when Erik was only eighteen, his hometown Meryl saw its most gruesome murder spree in the last century.

Deep, red wounds marked with sprawling lightning scars mar the victims. Any possible witnesses sport the same lightning scar on their heads--and their memory erased. The face of the criminal, the weapon of the criminal, the affect of the criminal-all gone.

Sick of the distress and growing distrust of his family, Erik sets out to find the murderer and end his crimes. But as Erik pieces the puzzle together, he discovers that finding the Ripper would take its toll.
