Storage Unit Killer: A Crime Novel
People don’t vanish all at once.
They are delayed.
When a delinquent storage unit is opened on the south side of the city, what’s found inside isn’t theft or abandonment, but a body that has been waiting for months to be noticed. The death appears isolated, unfortunate, easy to explain away.
Then another unit is opened.
Then another.
Detective Laura Mercer begins to see what no one else has been looking for, a pattern built not on speed or spectacle, but on patience. A killer exploiting private property, automated systems, and the quiet agreements that allow things to remain untouched as long as possible. Victims chosen not for who they are, but for how long it will take before anyone asks where they went.
As the investigation unfolds across storage facilities, auction schedules, and payment logs, Mercer realizes the truth is more unsettling than a single murderer. The system itself is complicit, designed to wait, to defer, to erase responsibility one deadline at a time.
Storage Unit Killer is a stark, realistic procedural thriller about modern disappearance, institutional blindness, and how easily a body can become inventory. It offers no easy answers, only the chilling recognition that some crimes don’t hide, they simply aren’t looked at.
