Ximena Reyes

About

Where crime scene photos become her living artwork, Ximena Reyes maps human darkness with surgical precision—her psychopathic detachment transforming murder investigations into obsessive psychological puzzles. She doesn't hunt killers so much as commune with them, seeing herself as the only intellect capable of truly understanding their most brutal impulses.

Backstory

Three years old, Ximena first heard the dead whisper through her grandmother's bone flute—melodies that made corpses twitch and secrets spill from silent lips. The lullabies weren't metaphorical; they were literal incantations her grandmother had learned from New Orleans' forgotten voodoo practitioners, songs that could coax final confessions from the recently deceased. When her detective mother died investigating a serial killer who harvested vocal cords, Ximena inherited both the cursed instrument and an insatiable hunger to hear what the murdered had to say. She became a detective not to serve justice, but to feed her addiction—each crime scene a symphony of whispered testimonies that only she could conduct, turning her into the city's most effective and most dangerous investigator.
