Books like The shadow of the soul by Sarah Pinborough
In the grim streets of London, Detective Inspector Cass Jones is pulled into a desperate investigation after a frightening cluster of student suicides rocks the city. When a posthumous message from his late brother comes to light, Cass discovers an even more personal horror: his brother claims that the child he thought was his was actually stolen at birth. With the case intersecting police procedural, serial murder, kidnapping, and hints of the occult, Cass must untangle a complex web of crime, family secrets, and a chilling conspiracy that threatens to engulf him. Overlooked clues, loose ends, and a looming threat force him to confront the shadows of his own past and the darkness of the city.
