One ordinary morning a string of small failures crossed an invisible line. Ryan Whitaker learned to be small: a boy who presses his father's shirts to his face, who rehearses silence until it becomes habit. A teacher tucks his name on a Post-It. A janitor's mop becomes an improvised stretcher. A mother transforms private sorrow into public testimony. Told in three braided perspectives-the youth who hardens inward, the teachers and staff who improvise to save lives, and the families and investigators who must reckon afterward-School Shooter traces how petty cruelties, missed referrals, and bureaucratic drift can accrete into catastrophe. Precise, unsparing, and humane, this literary psychological thriller refuses spectacle and insists on accountability. For readers of domestic suspense and literary family drama, it asks a chilling question: who will notice the small violences before they become irreversible? Available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook.
