A city haunted by secrets. A killer rewriting the rules of DNA. A brother forced to question everything he believes.

When a string of brutal murders terrorizes Seattle’s historic Pioneer Square, police are certain they’ve found their man — the quiet twin brother of a respected University of Washington criminology professor. The DNA evidence is irrefutable. The motive makes sense. The case is closed.

Except for one impossible truth: identical twins share the same DNA.

As the investigation unravels, Professor Donnie Lutz is pulled into a nightmare that tests the limits of science, identity, and guilt. Someone out there is using genetic manipulation to frame his twin — and to taunt the very system designed to catch him.

Each new clue blurs the line between the hunter and the hunted, forcing Donnie into the shadows of Pioneer Square, where past and present collide. The deeper he digs, the more he realizes the real question isn’t who the killer is…

It’s which version of the truth he’s willing to believe.

STREETS OF BLAME is a tense, atmospheric psychological thriller that blends forensic science, moral suspense, and the haunting beauty of Seattle’s underbelly. Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Tana French, and Lisa Gardner.

Because sometimes the evidence doesn’t lie — but the people who use it do. Show less
