The Serial Specter

Lucius Qayin

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.

Ranger

Onley James

Seven Symanski doesn’t need anyone, least of all Enzo Conti. As one of Jericho’s Boys, a vigilante crew that protects their neighborhood, Seven has a found family, a mission, and enough baggage to keep any relationship at arm’s length. When a favor introduces him to Enzo, a charming criminal defense attorney and the son of Francesca Conti—the neighborhood’s own Robin Hood—sparks fly. But Seven’s never been good at sticking around, and a one-night stand seems like all they’re destined for.
Enzo’s life is built on rules, order, and keeping his family’s shady dealings just this side of legal. But Seven is chaos incarnate, and Enzo has never wanted anyone more. When Seven ghosts him, Enzo takes matters into his own hands, offering a no-strings deal that backfires spectacularly. Enzo’s mother intervenes with a plan to teach him a lesson, and suddenly, the boy he can’t stop thinking about is right under his nose—and maddeningly out of reach.
But when Seven’s mother is accused of embezzlement, the stakes turn deadly serious. The only one who can help is Enzo, even if it means going against his own powerful law firm. Together, they must unravel a dangerous conspiracy while navigating the growing tension between them.
As their worlds collide, trust is tested, lines are crossed, and Enzo and Seven discover that love doesn’t always follow the rules. But with a little risk, they might just find a way to save the day—and each other.
Ranger is a lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers again, cozy dark romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. It features an infuriatingly hot defense attorney with control issues and a fed-up, frustrated vigilante brat. As with any Onley book, you’ll find dark humor, steamy sexy times, and gratuitous violence, but only against people who totally deserve it. This is book 4 in the Jericho’s Boys series. Each book follows a different couple.
