Sinopsis

In his first novel, the bestselling true crime author and star of ID’s hit series Dark Minds takes you into the world of a sadistic serial killer. 
 
M. William Phelps’s The Dead Soul takes you on a suspenseful journey through Boston’s illicit past, where Detective Jake “Sundance” Cooper fights to redeem his crumbling career. At the same time, a sadistic serial killer known as “The Optimist”—a character based on the author’s 20 years of research and writing about real serial killers—terrorizes young female victims along the city’s Freedom Trail. Cooper’s investigation exposes a corrupt Boston PD. It puts him at the center of a choice between blue blood loyalty and the pursuit of truth as his mentor, Detective Mo Blackhall, faces an indictment for his involvement in a scandal.  
 
This gritty thriller provides a fascinating look into the reality of Boston’s mean streets. Driven by a cast of characters reminiscent of Dennis Lehane’s finest fiction, The Dead Soul offers a thrill ride of suspense, mystery, and police procedural drama. 
 
“Read the first page of The Dead Soul and you won’t stop . . . Phelps’s narrative grabs you by the lapels and doesn’t let go.” —John Lutz, New York Times–bestselling author

"A murder will occur tonight at Beecham House . . ." Who could resist such a compelling invitation? Of course, the murder in question purports to be a party game, and Phyllida looks forward to using some of the deductive skills she has acquired thanks to her employer, Mrs. Agatha, who is unable to attend in person. 
 
 
 
The hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Wokesley, are new to the area, and Phyllida gladly offers their own overwhelmed housekeeper some guidance while events get underway. Family friends have been enlisted to play the suspects, and Mr. Wokesley excels in his role of dead body. Unfortunately, when the game's solution is about to be unveiled, the participants discover that life has imitated art. Mr. Wokesley really is dead! 
 
 
 
In the absence of Inspector Cork, Phyllida takes temporary charge of the investigation, guiding the local constable through interviews with the Murder Game actors. At first, there seems no motive to want Mr. Wokesley dead . . . but then Phyllida begins to connect each of the suspects with the roles they played and the motives assigned to them. It soon becomes clear that everyone had a reason to murder their host—both in the game and in real life. Before long, Phyllida is embroiled in a fiendishly puzzling case, with a killer who refuses to play by the rules . . .
