Chalk Face
by Waldo Frank
'Chalk Face' Summary
Dr. Martin, a young and ambitious physician, finds himself drawn into a complex case when he is tasked with profiling a notorious murderer known only as 'Chalk Face.' The murderer's chilling modus operandi involves leaving a chalk drawing of a human face on the scene, accompanied by a single rose. Driven by an insatiable curiosity, Martin delves deep into the criminal's past, uncovering a trail of traumatic experiences and a twisted worldview. As Martin pieces together the puzzle of 'Chalk Face's' identity and motivation, he becomes increasingly fascinated by the murderer's mind, blurring the lines between observer and participant. The investigation becomes a battleground for Martin's own internal struggles, forcing him to confront the darker aspects of human nature and the unsettling possibility that even he may harbor a shadow side. 'Chalk Face' ultimately becomes a descent into the depths of the human psyche, exploring the complexities of evil, the allure of the forbidden, and the thin line between sanity and madness.Book Details
