Chasing Evelyn

Lucian is officially known as a young billionaire and the owner of Raven Security Corporation.

To society, he is an impeccable businessman, regularly donating millions to charity.

But this is just a perfectly crafted mask.

In fact, Lucian is the most wanted serial killer, dubbed "Black Crow" by police.

He never kills random people.

Its victims include rapists, human traffickers, corrupt politicians, murderers and people whom the law has failed to punish.

After each murder, he leaves a single, perfectly black dahlia at the crime scene – his personal signature.

Nobody saw his face.

Nobody knows how it appears and disappears.

For ten years he did not make a single mistake.

When Lucian first saw Evelyn, he was about to eliminate another target.

But instead, I spent several hours watching only her.

From then on, he began to quietly follow her life.

Never came close.

Never spoke.

Never allowed myself to interfere.

Until one day, Evelyn's investigation led her straight to him.

And for the first time in his life, Lucian was faced with a choice:

To remain a faceless killer...

Or reveal himself to the one person he never wanted to let into his perfectly constructed world.
