Detective Gideon Barton, an African American investigator in Lawton, Oklahoma, is thrust into the darkest case of his career when a string of brutal murders sends shockwaves through the community. As the body count rises, Chief Saranson—a man ruled by ego and prejudice—refuses to see the pattern, forcing Gideon to fight for the integrity of the investigation and the victims who can no longer speak for themselves. When the FBI steps in, Profiler Shania Brindle joins the case and begins to uncover haunting connections—a link that draws Gideon closer to the killer than he ever imagined. As disturbing truths come to light, Gideon must navigate the thin line between justice and obsession, confronting not only the mind of a murderer but the hidden fractures within his own soul. Splitting Souls is a taut, emotionally charged thriller that delves into the complexities of identity, corruption, and redemption—where every revelation cuts deep, and the most dangerous secrets are the ones buried in plain sight.
