About C. M. Soliz

Meet the Author

C. M. Soliz writes psychological thrillers about ordinary people standing one step away from the dark. Grief that refuses to stay buried. Memories that cannot be trusted. Doors that should have stayed closed.

Soliz's novels pull readers into the minds of characters who are certain they understand their own lives, right up until the moment they don't. Each story is built for the reader who loves to guess the twist, and loves it even more when they guess wrong.

Before writing fiction, C. M. Soliz spent years as a government investigator and worked in various roles from civil to criminal violations and was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. When not plotting the next unraveling, Soliz can be found with family and friends, enjoying their company to caring for my five dogs, who too are like family.

Published novels include The Angel of Death, The Crimson Doorway, and Shadow on the Overpass. The next thriller, Close Tolerance, is on the way.

The Books

The Angel of Death A girl lies dead in the snow. No footprints. No struggle. Only three characters left beside her body, placed with care, like a signature. Detective Miller knows this killer has signed before, and won't stop until someone learns to read the message.

The Crimson Doorway Three campers went into the Washington mountains. They never came out. Now Scarlet Vance sits behind the locked doors of Willowbrook, rebuilding that night one vivid memory at a time. Every detail is certain. The only question is whether any of it is true.

Shadow on the Overpass Wherever Miguel goes, people die. Nobody ever looks twice. He climbed from dropout to doctorate and built a life rescuing forgotten kids. Then his wife opens thirty years of his notebooks, and the man she married begins to disappear.

Close Tolerance (coming soon) A woman is found strangled with a black cable tie, its tail trimmed flush. Machinist Donovan Parker knows that signature. His late father spent his final years hunting the Cable Tie Strangler. Donovan has always trusted the dial. Now the numbers point straight at him.

All published titles are available in ebook, paperback, and hardcover on Amazon, and free to read with Kindle Unlimited.

Shadow on the Overpass: The Weight of Silence - A Psychological Thriller

Wherever Miguel goes, people die. Nobody ever looks twice.

At 5:41 on a Tuesday morning, Dr. Miguel Martinez stands at the top of the Delmar Street overpass. At home, three lunches wait in the refrigerator, each bag labeled in his careful block capitals. His wife is still asleep.

He isn’t alone up here. He never has been.

Lucia has been with him...

The Crimson Doorway: Darkness Knows Your Name

Some doors were never meant to be opened. A Supernatural Psychological Thriller

When the darkness has a name for you, running isn’t an option.

A discovery that should have stayed buried. A threat that feels impossibly close. And a terror that doesn’t wait for nightfall.
The Crimson Doorway pulls you into a world where the line between investigator...

The Angel of Death

Not all angels bring salvation. Some come to collect.

The bodies are arranged too perfectly. The evidence points nowhere. And whoever is responsible has done this before.
A killer operating in plain sight. A pattern that only makes sense when it’s too late. And a darkness that wears the face of something holy.

The Angel of Death delivers the kind...

Praise

I found myself deeply moved and entirely immersed in the heartbreakingly human world C. M. Soliz creates, feeling every ounce of the invisible wounds carried by the

protagonist. What stood out to me most was the vivid contrast between Miguel’s unstable, chaotic childhood and those fleeting, tender moments of solace he shared with his beloved sister, Lucia. I was reminded of how easily the weight of empathy can become an unbearable burden when you are constantly silencing your own voice to accommodate the dysfunction of those around you.

I would highly recommend this haunting, beautifully woven masterpiece to fans of literary

fiction, intricate family sagas, or anyone who appreciates an emotionally resonant drama that champions a deep call for compassion.

– The Crimson Doorway - This Storyline Stayed With Me Long After I Read The Last Sentence WOW!

This book made me feel like someone was truly watching me, just the graphic display of the victims and how they were discovered. Something, as I read, just kinda crept in, making me pause with every noise I heard while reading this book. I think this book really played into the psychological mind play for me, not the normal serial killer thriller book. The realistic value of this book is unforeseen with graphic, true scene layouts. Book moved along nicely and didn’t find myself bored, actually the opposite. Need a dark crime thriller with a twist? Read this one.

– The Angel of Death - Totally Creepy

If you’re a horror fan, this book is probably for you. A group of people head out to search for a missing girl in an ominous forest known by the locals to be haunted. The suspense build up is nerve wrecking and gave me chills. It’s hard for me to write about it while not giving the story away. I’ll just say that it scared the hell out of me… I the most satisfying way!
