Rudy Galapaz writes the kind of mysteries that make you whisper \"just one more chapter at 3 a.m.\" then keep turning the pages anyway. Best known for his twisting Drown It In Ink crime series, Rudy pairs razor sharp plotting with the lush atmosphere of old film noir.

Off the page, Galapaz moonlights as a playwright. His stage adaptations of The Vanishing Hour and Dead Letter Day sold out regional theaters nationwide and earned him the Silver Stage Lantern for \"Outstanding Mystery Adaptation\"

Rudy recently won the elusive Lock & Key Laureate for the Port Dorian series (given to storytellers who redefine suspense). When he isn't plotting perfect crimes, you'll find him hunting vintage fountain pens or leading midnight ghost tours in his hometown of Charleston.

Follow Rudy for smoke and mirror clues, unexpected alibis, and the occasional curtain call.

When celebrated true crime columnist Elliot Travers is found dead in his downtown office—face submerged in a basin of jet black printing ink—everyone assumes the killer wanted to silence the man who exposed half the city's secrets. But veteran homicide detective Lucia Vega sees a signature that's too theatrical for a simple revenge hit.

Hours later a second body surfaces: a rare books dealer, throat slit, the words IT BLEEDS scrawled across a first edition manuscript in the same viscous black ink. As Lucia digs deeper, she discovers a cryptic chain of clues hidden inside Travers's final, unpublished column—each one pointing to an unsolved cold case and a lineup of powerful figures who would kill to keep the past buried.

Racing against a media frenzy that brands her Ink's Avenger, Lucia follows a trail through blackout archives, secret literary societies, and the city's underground pressrooms, where antique typewriters still clack out threats in the dark. Every step pulls her further into a story that someone is desperate to control—someone who's already writing the final chapter in blood.

Drown It in Ink is a taut, atmospheric thriller that asks how far a killer will go to control the narrative—and how much truth a city can swallow before it chokes. Perfect for fans of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Gone Baby Gone, Rudy Galapaz's latest delivers razor sharp twists, haunting prose, and a finale that will stain your imagination long after the last page.
