The Chaos Killer is watching. Ten boxes. Ten secrets. One chance to survive.

Evan Morris wakes up in darkness, bound in an abandoned warehouse with no memory of how he got there. Surrounding him are ten numbered boxes, each one containing a relic from his troubled past. The Chaos Killer—a ruthless, taunting murderer who has terrorized Dallas for years—has drawn him into a sadistic game of survival.

To escape, Evan must unlock the secrets hidden within each box, facing long-buried memories and painful truths along the way. But as the countdown ticks down and the twisted puzzle unfolds, Evan realizes that this killer knows him in ways no one else should. How can someone know every shadow in his life?

With every new discovery, the line between past and present blurs, revealing a horrifying reality that Evan is not prepared to face. In a race against time, he must confront a deadly betrayal that threatens to shatter everything he thought he knew about himself—and about trust.

Count to Ten is a suspenseful psychological thriller that digs deep into the scars of deception and the lengths one must go to survive. With every revelation, this pulse-pounding novel grips readers tighter, building to a finale that will leave them breathless.
