Depraved

A twisted playground rhyme. A trail of mutilated bodies.
A killer with more reach than they ever imagined.

Emerging from their last case beaten and broken, Inspector Gérard Renault's team is in shambles, his confidence shattered as his newfound sobriety reaches an all-time low. Resident genius and pop culture encyclopedia Marcus Bailey is beatboxing overtime just to keep the team from imploding while they search for their missing teammate. Then the first body drops.

The Butcher walks tonight. Better heed my warning...

The Butcher of Annapolis is already in custody-but the body count is rising.
Someone is watching, someone who knows them inside and out. Someone who looks just like them.

Stay inside, run and hide...

As the Special Peacekeeping Squad scrambles to defeat a killer who weaponizes their weaknesses, Inspector Gérard Renault and Dr. Ellie Brynne realize this isn't just a murder spree.
This is a game.
And the Butcher is still playing.

Or you'll be dead by morning.


For fans of the global stakes of The Gray Man and the psychological intrigue of Red Sparrow, Depraved is the explosive third installment in the SPKS saga-where theatrical villains rise, heroes break, and the tension between Renault and Brynne may prove deadly.
