What Needed To Be Done: A dark psychological thriller about deception, obsession, and a murder everyone believes is solved (The Vanishing Lines Series Book 2)

In the aftermath of a brutal home invasion, Evelyn Carter has reinvented herself as the perfect survivor. Wealthy. Beautiful. Untouchable.

The past, by all appearances, is settled.

But when Detective Selina Turner quietly reopens the case, she begins to notice cracks in Evelyn’s carefully constructed victim narrative. No official mandate. No clean evidence. Only fragments, contradictions, and the growing sense that the truth has been buried far too neatly.

In this dark psychological thriller sequel to Vanishing Lines, obsession, manipulation, and buried violence collide, forcing one question to the surface:

What if the victim was the monster?

What Needed To Be Done is the second novel in a psychological thriller series exploring violent crime and the dangerous gray space between victim, villain, and truth.
