Hidden in Plain Sight

Michael Dewey is the perfect predator. By day, he's a trusted lifeguard at an exclusive beach club, a devoted boyfriend, and an active church choir member. But beneath the friendly smile lies something darker—a calculating hunter who uses his charm and respectability as camouflage.

When three women come forward to identify him as their attacker, Mike faces trial. But fear and uncertainty work in his favor. The women can't make positive identifications in court, and Mike walks free, required only to complete therapy as part of a plea deal on lesser charges.

In his final therapy session, Mike delivers a chilling confession to Dr. Stanton—he did everything he was accused of. But double jeopardy protects him from retrial, and doctor-patient confidentiality silences her. He's untouchable.

Moving to the city, Mike rebuilds his cover. He joins a gym, finds a new church, and begins dating the pastor's daughter. To everyone who knows him, he's a man seeking redemption. But in his notebook, he's tracking new patterns, studying new victims, and waiting for the perfect moment to hunt again.

Hidden in Plain Sight is a disturbing psychological thriller that exposes how predators exploit trust, manipulate systems, and hide in plain sight within our communities. This is the face of evil that nobody wants to see—charming, helpful, and perfectly camouflaged.

A dark and unsettling novella that will make readers question everyone they think they know.
