Thriller Psychological

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.

SUMMARY

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.
