Crime/Horror

My next, next, next book, already completed, and awaiting my decision on its release.

What do you do as the lead detectives on a serial killer case, when your prime suspect becomes your partner?

Not only that…how do you get your heads around the fact that your new partner is also an immortal, shapeshifting being who freely admits that he kills to stay alive?

And…as if that weren’t enough, how do you deal with the fact that your new, immortal, shapeshifting, murdering partner informs you that there are even worse things running amok in your city; things that could bring an end to everything if you don’t work together to bring them down?

That’s the premise of SKINWALKER.

Liz Sorrel and her detective partner Derek Speyside reach dead end after dead end in their investigation into “The Driver” killings that have terrorized the city for weeks. Then one rainy night a seemingly unconnected murder leads them straight to the heart of The Driver case…but also thrusts them into the middle of an even darker, more deadly mystery.

Liz and Derek find themselves on the track of a killer that makes the brutal crimes of The Driver look like the work of an amateur. Their initial suspect, though, may turn out to be a benefactor who can help them solve their case, if they can get around the fact that he’s also a remorseless killer with a score of victims…among a host of other secrets he holds.

Fighting their own mistrust of their new partner, Liz and Derek try to close in on a murderer that tears its victims to shreds, while trying to keep their own monster at arm’s length. It’s a deal with a devil. Suspects and witnesses are being torn apart all around them and they don’t know whether they’ve partnered with a benefactor…or a creature that would just as soon kill them and run rampant through the city itself.

Skinwalker. Coming soon.
