NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, December 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Author Zachery Clark unveils Built From Her Bones, the second book in the Mayhem at Midnight series, delivering a tense, atmospheric noir thriller set in the rain-soaked streets of Port Sentinel. With its blend of emotional depth and relentless suspense, the novel thrusts readers into a harrowing chase as Special Agent Damon Parker pursues a killer whose crimes resurrect the most devastating night of his life.

At the center of the novel is Damon Parker, a man haunted by the brutal murder of his mother. When a series of ritualistic killings begins to plague the city—each victim staged with meticulous care and marked by a single lilac petal—Damon recognizes the chilling echo of his past. The murderer, Anthony Vexler, emerges as a calculating adversary whose cryptic messages and personal artifacts force Damon into a deadly duel that tests both his resolve and his sanity.

Through his pursuit of Vexler, Clark explores the thin line between vengeance and redemption, and how far a man can be driven before he risks becoming the very thing he hunts.

Working alongside rookie Joe Ortega and profiler Natalie Rivera, Damon navigates seedy bars, crumbling apartments, and shadows where secrets fester. Readers who appreciate layered character arcs, escalating stakes, and noir-infused settings will find themselves fully immersed in the world of Port Sentinel.

Zachery Clark brings a cinematic storytelling style shaped by a deep appreciation for classic noir and modern psychological suspense. His ability to fuse character-driven depth with edge-of-your-seat pacing elevates this installment, expanding the Mayhem at Midnight universe and revealing new dimensions within its haunted protagonist.
