SERIAL INTENT

SERIAL INTENT

When Lindsey Fetter opened her eyes, the man that killed her husband stood at the end of her bed... When Charlie Dunn pocketed his cell phone, he could only stare at the empty ice on Lake Michigan. The man that killed his wife and son before his eyes had been released... When Ellen Dumont visited her parent’s gravesite alone, it never occurred to her it would be her last moment on earth...



450 murders is a slow year for Chicago Homicide Detective Aaron Wolfe, but he carries all of them with him. Long ago he learned to bury the pain and the angst so he could navigate the carnage and hunt the killers. But decades of a rising crimson tide and broken legal system became more than he could bear. There were too many innocent victims, and there were too many killers escaping justice through the many legal cracks. On the eve of his resignation, Wolfe saw that the man he got convicted for the Dunn family killings was set to be released from his life sentence—another creative legal maneuver. When Wolfe took on the Fetter and Dumont cases, his sick world took a new turn. The worst of the worst killers who beat the system were killed by snipers days after their release. And the snipers were found around the city, their skulls crushed with bare hands. Aaron Wolfe knew two opposed factions had engaged in a dark war, one that could change everything.



Can Aaron Wolfe uncover the secret force on a reckless mission to remedy a failing criminal justice system? Can he find and stop the skull-crushing beast now terrorizing his city? Or will Wolfe succumb to his deep battle scars and allow this new kind of justice in the city of predators?
