Beschreibung

Detective Sarah Logan is a force to be reckoned with - a relentless investigator known for her sharp instincts and unyielding determination. When a string of gruesome murders terrorizes the gritty urban landscape of The City, Sarah is assigned to the case. As she delves deeper into the investigation, she becomes increasingly obsessed with catching the elusive killer known as The Specter, putting her personal life on the line.
The Specter is a psychopath with multiple personalities, each of which contributes to their twisted killings. Sarah struggles to unravel the killer's true identity, as their personas conceal their true self. But as Sarah uncovers more clues, she realizes that the killer has a personal connection to her, making her a prime target in their game of cat and mouse.
One of The Specter's prominent personalities, Michael, resides in a seemingly picturesque suburban neighborhood. As Sarah investigates Michael, she discovers that his double life serves as a backdrop for some of the murders. Her obsession with the case takes a toll on her personal life, as she suffers from insomnia and paranoia.
To gain insights into the killer's condition, Sarah consults with Dr. James Anderson - a forensic psychologist specializing in Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Together, they work on profiling The Specter's different personas and unraveling the psychology behind the multiple personalities.
As Sarah edges closer to uncovering The Specter's true identity, she becomes a target herself. The final showdown between Sarah and The Specter is a dramatic twist that reveals the shocking truth about their connection and the killer's twisted motivations. The city itself becomes a character, with its dark alleyways and abandoned buildings heightening the air of unease.
"The Serial Specter" is a thrilling psychological thriller that leans into the tropes of the genre. With Detective Sarah Logan at its center, readers will be taken on a gripping journey into the mind of a cunning psychopath and the relentless investigator determined to take them down.

Tales of Terror and Mystery

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

This volume presents some of Arthur Conan Doyle’s unduly neglected masterworks of suspense. Each begins in a quietly factual way, which makes all the more dramatic the crescendo of fear and puzzlement that ensues as each startling new circumstance is revealed. Even without his supremely logical brainchild Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle shows that his tales are unbeatable for thrills and excitement. This is a great opportunity for the listener to discover a new facet of the master’s ability to mystify and enthrall. 
Included in this collection are six tales of terror: 
“The Horror of the Heights”“The Leather Funnel”“The New Catacomb”“The Case of Lady Sannox”“The Terror of Blue John Gap”“The Brazilian Cat” 
And seven tales of mystery: 
“The Lost Special”“The Beetle-Hunter”“The Man with the Watches”“The Japanned Box”“The Black Doctor”“The Jew’s Breastplate”“The Nightmare Room”

pen letter, and while she finds its message preposterous and laughable, others are taking the missives to heart. Their headstrong housekeeper Beddoes is ready to resign and one villager has attempted to take her own life. 
 
The disruption of the peace goes far beyond malicious mischief when another villager is murdered. Now it’s up to the intrepid sleuths to read between the lines and narrow down the suspects to identify the lethal letter writer and ensure that justice is delivered …
