BLURB:
A missing coed named Abby Reece.
Two clever thrill killers are committing the most brutal,
public, and horrifying abductions and murders in the county’s history. The killers, known as the Gamers, have
done this before, and are now upping their evil game to a new level. The question is — can they be stopped
before they kill again?
Things get complicated.
When an ex-girlfriend goes missing, Private Investigator
Gabe Chase is obsessed with finding her.
But once her naked and posed body is discovered, the investigator
becomes the investigated. His
passion for the victim’s beautiful sister is a complication he doesn't need, as
he helps solve the county’s most baffling, terrifying murder cases ever.
Add a sociopathic serial killer who calls himself the
Master.
A serial killer so deadly, the FBI’s behavioral analysts
want to know when and why he began killing, as well as the identification and
location of additional victims. He
will speak only to former federal agent, Carly Stone, a woman he blames for his
capture. When the profiler finds
herself at the mercy of this ruthless killer, his becomes the most terrifying
profile of all.
Profile of Terror
Three chilling villains, two passionate love stories, and
pulse-racing suspense with startling plot twists keep readers on the edge of
their seats from page one of this heart-pounding and unforgettable romantic
suspense.
At one in the morning, the dark
sky was illuminated by a full moon as they drove on a country road, trees
hanging overhead like skeletal arms, nearly touching their vehicle. Driving slowly, they made periodic
stops, for only the perfect place would do.
Approaching a bridge over a deep
ravine with a wide creek, the van stopped. Both got out and circled to the back of the white utility
van, where they pulled out a young woman's body, already stiffening with rigor
mortis. They carried her to the
edge of the road, where they set down her corpse, gave it a push, and sent it
rolling down the ravine until it landed on the rocky creek bed below. Hands on hips, they waited and watched
the body at rest, as if they expected it to magically come to life and run
away.
"I wonder how long it will
take the cops to find this one." The driver chuckled as he followed his
passenger to the back of the van.
"Good question. The one last winter wasn't found until
the spring thaw." He flipped
through a stack of magnetic business signs he'd collected in the back of the
vehicle. Choosing one, he slapped
it on the side of the van and climbed inside.
"So how many magnetic signs
do we have now?"
"Fifteen or so. We've got signs for plumbing,
locksmithing, house painting, and general repair businesses. Think we need
more?"
"No." He shook his
head. "You did a good job
stealing those. Even if we have an
eye witness tonight, they'll describe a business truck, complete with a name
and phone number the cops will use to try to track down their suspects. Too bad
it will be a dead end. Any time we
can toy with the cops is a good time."
"Agreed," he said, as a
slow, evil smile spread across his handsome face.
Devan Roth glanced at his twin
brother, Evan, sitting in the passenger seat, and thought about how much Evan
craved his praise. He'd used that
need to his advantage their entire lives.
It wasn't that Devan didn't love his twin. He did, but he loved manipulating him more. Although Evan had a higher intelligence
level than Devan ever dreamed of reaching, Evan's adoration for his twin was
his weak spot. And if there was
anything that Devan could identify from a mile away, it was someone else's
weakness. That's what made Devan
the leader.
From early childhood, he could
get Evan to do absolutely anything he wanted. Devan invented the "Double Dare" game when the
twins were twelve; he double-dared Evan to jump off the second-story roof. Evan
leaped, and broke both his legs.
But he never told their parents that Devan had dared him to do it. His loyalty to his twin outweighed the
pain he suffered that summer.
The Double Dare game
continued. Early on, they stole
and killed their neighbors' pets, and then moved on to peeping in windows in
the neighborhood and videotaping the event so they could relive the thrill later. Now they were abducting and killing
prostitutes, then disposing of their bodies in remote areas surrounding
Indianapolis.
