Make his goals so outlandish and interesting that an audience can’t help but root for him.

-What makes them conspire to rob their rich friend’s shop? Why would they turn on their friend? : When their [rich friend] does [action],?two robbers?break into his art gallery shop to steal and sell a priceless artifact.?
The last part is vague. That seems to be the bulk of the story. What “endless torment that taunts them and their families” do they attract?
When they sell a stolen ancient sculpture to a ghost arts collector, two robbers must track down the artifact and return it to the owner.?

See lessThe fact that he’s not a cop is what is the challenge. He doesn’t have training, weapons, or resources to take on a seasoned killer. Giving him a disability would make the story less believable, because of his lack of training and disability combined. .
It seems to differ in that it’s not a mystery at all; he knows who did it and is trying to stop him. He may have to figure out where he’s going and such, but as the genre is labelled ‘Horror’ it seems more horror than police procedural.
Besides, it is similar to an established idea, the police procedural, yet it is different. While maybe you have run dry on standard police types(I don’t even watch procedural so I know how you feel), studios are still looking for them. It different enough to be a bit unique but familiar enough to probably not be considered a risk.
I think making the killer unique is probably the way to go.?
