Synopsis

In 'The Killer,' Stewart Edward White delves into the psychological landscape of human conflict and morality, weaving a gripping narrative that examines the intricacies of nature versus nurture. Through vivid prose and a sharp focus on character development, White crafts a tale that challenges readers to confront ethical dilemmas in extreme circumstances. The book is steeped in early 20th-century literary trends that scrutinize the human condition, marked by an exploration of primal instincts against a backdrop of civilization's constraints. White, a prominent American author and avid outdoorsman, often drew inspiration from his experiences in nature and his encounters with diverse peoples. His background in exploration and adventure, combined with a deep interest in the human psyche, profoundly influenced his writing. 'The Killer' emerges from White'Äôs contemplations on survival and the moral ambiguity faced by individuals when pushed to their limits, reflecting broader societal questions of justice and redemption. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking a thought-provoking exploration of morality and the human experience. With its compelling narrative and rich psychological insights, 'The Killer' is not only a thrilling story but also a reflection on the darker aspects of human nature that resonates with contemporary concerns.

    Waincroft Manor has long been tied to rumors of witchcraft and fatal curses, and to Nora Charles, that makes it the perfect place for a Halloween fundraiser.

    Determined to dispel the rumors and save the fundraiser, Nora sets out to prove the murderer was quite human after all. Sifting through the clues, she learns of a bitter family rivalry that spans generations, and a more recent conflict that may point to the motive for the murder. And when Nick spells out a clue that proves to be the missing piece of the puzzle, Nora knows she'll have to watch her back—because there's a killer out there who wants to keep some secrets buried, and they'll happily bury Nora right along with them . . .
