Praise for the Book
"This is a refreshingly blunt soliloquy about the author's most baffling whodunnit of his career. What a fascinating and great read!" ~ Donna Templeton
"A good short story about a retired FBI agent and the one case he never closed. A short fun read. Check it out." ~ D. Keller
"Very short story. This is not your typical all the answers at the end 'mystery'. If you need closure this is not the story for you. I did enjoy the story and was shocked when it just ended." ~ Mary Rhonda Marquez
"Totally different type of book for me. Enjoyed it very much first time for this author as well. Found it entertaining." ~ Jackie
"A retired investigator is bothered by the serial killer he wasn't able to catch. He could not figure out what these victims had in common or why they were selected to be killed. This story was keeping my interest right up until it suddenly ended in a cliffhanger." ~ Judy A. Ptacek
My Review
By Lynda Dickson
On retiring from the Serial Killer Unit of the FBI, our narrator finds himself at a loose end. But he's got that one cold case that still haunts him. They have fingerprints and even a description, but what is the killer's motive behind these seemingly unrelated murders?
The narrator has a great conversational tone that makes us feel like he is speaking directly to us, and he provides just enough interesting details about his job to keep us wanting more. This is a clever story that highlights the power of serendipity. And it just goes to show that it's not about the result, it's all about the thrill of the chase.
