THE CIRCLE IS CLOSING
A Psychological Thriller by Rene Cope
Some monsters don’t wait in the dark. They sit beside you on a plane, smile like professionals, and learn your name.
Liz Sheriden is a respected prosecutor, devoted wife, and mother of two. While attending a legal conference in Atlanta, she meets Ryan Kessler, an IT consultant with a disarming smile and polished charm. But what begins as casual conversation on a flight soon spirals into something far more unsettling.
As Ryan’s presence begins to follow her—from hotel lobbies to hallway corners—Liz’s instincts sharpen. He always seems to know just enough. To be just close enough.
But Liz isn’t just another woman afraid for her safety. She’s been here before. And she’s learned how to survive.
Tense, moody, and layered with slow-burning dread, The Circle is Closing is a psychological thriller about power, perception, and the quiet war women fight every day to stay one step ahead.
