This thriller from an author who “writes the kind of stuff of which nightmares are made” pits a madman intent on world domination against a Canadian Mountie (The Globe and Mail, Toronto). Robert DeClercq has faced a lot of psychos as the head of the Special X team of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. But never one as evil as Mephisto, a megalomaniac intent on recovering a relic rumored to hold the secrets of Stonehenge—mysteries Mephisto hopes to exploit for his own diabolical ends. Determined to make DeClercq a pawn in his plan to uncover the ancient treasure, Mephisto lures him in by abducting one of DeClercq’s own. Now DeClercq is in a race against time to save his friend and fellow cop from a slow and torturous death—and save the world from Mephisto’s sinister scheme to create a hell on Earth. “The psycho to end all psychos. Mephisto makes Hannibal Lecter seem like an Oxford don with slightly unorthodox culinary tastes.” —The Vancouver Sun “Burnt Bones is a very original thriller—nice and gory, with plenty of scenery-chewing scenes . . . that should appeal to anyone looking for a change from the usual stuff that litters bookstore shelves.” —The Chronicle Herald

There is something about the number 3.
The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.
Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes.
Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

Once in Hampton Roads, the only thing more prevalent than sailors in this military town are white cargo vans such as the one the killer is linked to.

It soon becomes apparent that if they are going to have any luck landing the killer, Jerry is going to have to agree to Fred’s plan of casting a wide net and using the most sought-after bait to entice the Hash Mark Killer into the open. Bait like Susie Richardson, the only living person who can positively identify the man.
It’s all hands on deck as Max and Savannah come on board to help Jerry and Gunter and to help keep Susie safe.
Will the gang be able to use their combined gifts to lure in the Hash Mark Killer? Or will he prove too slippery to be caught?
