The Suicide Killer
Detective Sergeant J. J. “Cowboy” Manford, a fifteen- year veteran of the Caine City Police Department, is the one called out to investigate unusual deaths. His current case initially looks like a suicide, a jumper. However, the facts surrounding the case just aren’t adding up to suicide. The more he seeks an answer, the more disconcerting it becomes. Eventually, a crossover of just a few items, no suicide note, and someone who goes by CT lead to the discovery of nine similar cases over a twenty-year period. This discovery leaves Detective Manford seeking a serial killer who has made his kills look like suicides. The ultimate question is, were they suicides or murders?
The Killer Within
Det. Sgt. J. J. “Cowboy” Manford is tasked with his second serial murder case in less than a year. Three women are killed via strangulation. The only evidence is semen, which is from the same perpetrator. However, the DNA from it is not found in any database. The only other connection is that a well-known and well-liked local psychiatrist/psychologist knew all three women. Unfortunately, at the time all three women are killed, he cannot account for his time, claiming to have no memory of any encounter with these women outside of their initial meeting. A psychological alibi or a brilliant liar?
