About this listen

He doesn’t kill for money. He kills for the laugh.

In the shadowed gutters of a city still reeling from a mob war, a new predator emerges—Ellis Davis. Dressed in mismatched clothes, cloaked in insanity, and carrying the twisted humor of a sadistic showman, Ellis isn't your average contract killer. He’s smarter. Stranger. And far more dangerous.

When Detective Stone begins to piece together a trail of bodies and riddles, he realizes this isn't just another hitman—this is something else. Something primal. Something... gleeful.

Meanwhile, psychologist Dr. Donna Anders finds herself drawn deeper into Ellis's deranged psyche, balancing fascination with terror, and obsession with survival.

As crime families crumble and alliances break, only one question remains:

Can madness be contained...or is laughter the final weapon?
