Description
(A Love Story based on Criminal Minds) She finds meaning in what others leave behind. But some stories demand to be rewritten. Dr. Josephine "Jo" Prescott was never meant to be in the spotlight. A trauma linguist and one of the top graphologists in the country, she's spent her life in the spaces between - interpreting silence, decoding intent, and studying the way grief stains language. When the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit brings her in to consult on a ritual murder, Jo expects to offer insight and walk away. She doesn't expect to stay. And she certainly doesn't expect to matter. But some names refuse to fade. And some ghosts write back. As Jo becomes entangled in the team's darkest cases - and in the quiet pull between Spencer Reid's incandescent mind and Aaron Hotchner's steady gravity - old wounds resurface, including the disappearance of her sister, Lila, a case Jo's never stopped trying to solve. When a killer begins leaving letters only Jo can decipher, she must confront everything she's buried: her guilt, her grief, and her fear of being truly seen. Told through fragments, case files, and the emotional echoes that live in the margins, this is the story of a woman who spent her life reading everyone else's stories - until she finally writes her own.
