The Aestheticist
£3.59Add to cartA killer is curating a gallery of the dead. Can a haunted detective stop him before he adds the final piece?
Detective Kaelen Rossi tracks a pattern of vanishing young men to the door of Dr. Alistair Finch, a brilliant surgeon with a chilling philosophy: true beauty must be preserved from decay. Finch is “The Aestheticist,” an artist who murders his handsome, gay victims and poses them as serene sculptures in a hidden studio. For him, it’s not murder—it’s an act of eternal preservation.
Rossi’s pursuit becomes a personal war against Finch’s twisted genius, a battle that nearly costs him his life and sanity. He survives to see Finch imprisoned, but the victory is hollow. Finch’s dark art has inspired a fanatical online following. A copycat emerges, and Rossi uncovers a devastating betrayal: Finch’s accomplice was a trusted insider, a medical examiner who helped him from within the investigation.
Now, a new, more dangerous disciple—”The Steward”—plans to scale up Finch’s vision into an act of mass terror, viewing a public festival as a canvas to be “cleansed.” With time running out and the people he cares about in the crosshairs, Rossi must confront a legacy of murder that refuses to die. He must stop a fanatic, outsmart a master manipulator from his prison cell, and reclaim his own soul from the killer’s seductive, monstrous logic.
A intense, psychological thriller, The Aestheticist explores obsession, beauty, and the terrifying power of a dangerous idea.
