ABOUT THE BOOK
A missing coed named Abby Reece.
Two clever thrill killers are committing the most brutal, public,
and horrifying abductions and murders in the county’s history. The killers, known as the Gamers, have done
this before, and are now upping their evil game to a new level. The question is — can they be stopped before
they kill again?
Things get complicated.
When an ex-girlfriend goes missing, Private Investigator Gabe
Chase is obsessed with finding her. But
once her naked and posed body is discovered, the investigator becomes the
investigated. His passion for the
victim’s beautiful sister is a complication he doesn't need, as he helps solve
the county’s most baffling, terrifying murder cases ever.
Add a sociopathic serial killer who calls himself the Master.
A serial killer so deadly, the FBI’s behavioral analysts want to
know when and why he began killing, as well as the identification and location
of additional victims. He will speak
only to former federal agent, Carly Stone, a woman he blames for his
capture. When the profiler finds herself
at the mercy of this ruthless killer, his becomes the most terrifying profile
of all.

AN EXCERPT
At one in the morning, the dark sky
was illuminated by a full moon as they drove on a country road, trees hanging
overhead like skeletal arms, nearly touching their vehicle. Driving slowly, they made periodic stops, for
only the perfect place would do.
Approaching a bridge over a deep
ravine with a wide creek, the van stopped.
Both got out and circled to the back of the white utility van, where
they pulled out a young woman's body, already stiffening with rigor mortis. They carried her to the edge of the road,
where they set down her corpse, gave it a push, and sent it rolling down the
ravine until it landed on the rocky creek bed below. Hands on hips, they waited and watched the
body at rest, as if they expected it to magically come to life and run away.
"I wonder how long it will take
the cops to find this one." The driver chuckled as he followed his
passenger to the back of the van.
"Good question. The one last winter wasn't found until the
spring thaw." He flipped through a
stack of magnetic business signs he'd collected in the back of the
vehicle. Choosing one, he slapped it on
the side of the van and climbed inside.
"So how many magnetic signs do
we have now?"
"Fifteen or so. We've got signs for plumbing, locksmithing,
house painting, and general repair businesses. Think we need more?"
"No." He shook his
head. "You did a good job stealing
those. Even if we have an eye witness
tonight, they'll describe a business truck, complete with a name and phone
number the cops will use to try to track down their suspects. Too bad it will
be a dead end. Any time we can toy with
the cops is a good time."
"Agreed," he said, as a
slow, evil smile spread across his handsome face.
Devan Roth glanced at his twin
brother, Evan, sitting in the passenger seat, and thought about how much Evan
craved his praise. He'd used that need
to his advantage their entire lives. It
wasn't that Devan didn't love his twin.
He did, but he loved manipulating him more. Although Evan had a higher intelligence level
than Devan ever dreamed of reaching, Evan's adoration for his twin was his weak
spot. And if there was anything that
Devan could identify from a mile away, it was someone else's weakness. That's what made Devan the leader.
From early childhood, he could get
Evan to do absolutely anything he wanted.
Devan invented the "Double Dare" game when the twins were
twelve; he double-dared Evan to jump off the second-story roof. Evan leaped,
and broke both his legs. But he never
told their parents that Devan had dared him to do it. His loyalty to his twin outweighed the pain
he suffered that summer.
