Do you like a good murder?
So long as you're not the victim.
In my twisty, gritty, contemp adult psych thriller, bodies drop like flies. It's a heady mix of pop culture, elevated pulp fiction, & secrets galore.

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.

That means that the DOJ redacted Trump's name about 950K times in the 3M documents they released. www.axios.com/2026/02/10/t...
