The Darkest Game by Alex Sigmore (Oak Creek)
English | 2025 | Mystery & Thriller
A killer who turns art into murder. A small town with big secrets. Let the game begin…
When a woman’s body is discovered by a river in Oak Creek, local police quickly dismiss it as an accidental drowning from years ago. Brought in from Chicago to help with the case, Detective Charlotte Dawes has worked on more murder investigations than she’d like to remember. An examination of the body tells her what local police refuse to see – somebody moved the victim to this remote location.
After a local artist is found murdered, her body positioned to match one of her final paintings, the sinister truth can’t be ignored. More disturbing still, the artist’s other works seem to predict who in the small town will be next to die, in increasingly macabre ways.
As fear grips the town, Charlotte discovers a link between the first victim and a local cop, and it’s clear the killer has planned their moves meticulously. In a community where everyone guards their secrets, Charlotte must determine who’s truly playing on her side, before she becomes the next target…
