Haunted Mind, Confused Heart

-Unbeknownst to everyone except his victims, Jeremiah Bernhardt has become one of the world’s most notorious serial killers. His drive stems from the misguided belief that the cosmos is directing him to rid the world of the unworthy so he can fulfill his ultimate destiny of immortality and become Supreme Chancellor of the World.

-Close on the trail of blood are two detectives who have suddenly become suspicious of the untimely death of Jeremiah’s mother after she was found in an alley with a blood-alcohol level over three times the legal limit, a bit high for a woman who supposedly didn’t drink. The discovery of Eileen Bernhardt’s diary proves a mother’s misguided belief in the goodness of her only child.

-Sitting in prison is Eric Marshall, charged with the murder of his girlfriend. All of the evidence suggests his guilt, but the accused has remained mute on the subject even though he was caught with blood on his hands. After many months of a self-imposed silence, he has finally agreed to speak on his presumed crime.

-Following her newly-developed intuition is eleven-year-old Olivia DeMers, who was diagnosed with mild autism at a young age. She has never spoken a word during her entire life, up until the moment she demanded her parents drive west. Her sole reason? “Murder”, she says to her parents, as if the answer should have been obvious to all involved.

How many victims must suffer at the hands of the peculiar Jeremiah Bernhardt?
