What might be more despicable than stealing young women and
destroying them physically and mentally before murdering
them? Torturing their parents even months after stealing
their daughters might fit the bill. When a potential thief
sees opportunity in his mark's eyes, he gets more than he
bargained for: he discovers the identity of a killer.
Later, Detectives Kim Pierce and Michael Scanlon continue
their hunt for the same killer. Will the thief with the
identity come forward before it is too late, or will the
detectives be thwarted in their pursuit due to a lack of
information? In addition, Michael has to contend with his
police-detective brother, Steve's, seeming disregard for
his wife, children and the case, as well as make excuses to
his ailing father about why the favored son won't visit.
A fast-paced mystery, THE MIDNIGHT ROOM does not pull any
punches. In an interesting twist, the readers have more
information about the killer than the detectives, so the
real mystery is not the obvious one. Elegantly crafted, THE
MIDNIGHT ROOM will leave one chilled on the hottest of
days.
It started as a burglary. That would have been bad enough.
But when the masked intruder forced Dr. Olson at gunpoint
to open his safe, the doctor knew he was really in
trouble. In the safe were two DVDs, private movies he had
made of those girls he had kidnapped…and killed. Suddenly
the burglary became blackmail. But blackmailing a serial
killer can be a dangerous game. Especially when he’s as
smart—and good with a scalpel—as Dr. Olson.
