The Precious Dolls

He collects broken dolls. But first, he has to break them.

The body washes ashore like discarded trash—a young woman transformed into a grotesque parody of beauty, her face painted in death's makeup and wrapped in silk that can't hide the horror beneath. Detective Harri Harper knows this isn't random violence; it's artistry. Sick, twisted artistry that's just getting started.

The Dollmaker doesn't just kill—he creates. Each victim is carefully selected, meticulously prepared, and turned into a lifeless doll for his collection. But these aren't random targets. Behind Hollywood's glittering facade lies a trafficking network that delivers fresh "dolls" to the city's most powerful predators, and the Dollmaker is their top artist.

Protected by wealth and influence, he's been perfecting his craft for years, always watching, always hunting for the perfect specimen. His victims are young women trapped in a nightmare web of exploitation, where survival means becoming someone's plaything—until the Dollmaker decides they're ready for his final transformation.

As bodies pile up on LA's beaches and another girl disappears into the network's hungry maw, Harri and Detective Tom Bards race to unravel a conspiracy that reaches into the highest echelons of power. But the Dollmaker has been watching them too, and in his twisted mind, every detective is just another doll waiting to be broken.
