Book One of the Unofficial Case Files { { o } } Detective Rodney Klocke has always been a quiet man. He doesn't like to talk more than is necessary, and next to nothing escapes his notice. That's part of what makes him such a good detective. Though his overall silence can be somewhat cumbersome at times, which is why Corduroy's Chief of Police is always assigning him a new partner, looking for someone that Klocke won't reject. Or rather, someone who can survive him. This year's newest model happens to be the young and eager Jennifer Haiden, who, as it happens, just cannot stop talking. Ever. Life just gets better when a murder victim turns up burned to death in the local Rosauers parking lot, and that's not even the best part. The killing was reported by the killer, a man calling himself "The Messenger." Nothing is as simple as it seems. Fear is the Messenger's weapon of choice, the voice in his head being the thing that drives him to use it. But is the voice a mere symptom of psychopathy, or something more sinister? As more people are killed, the body count goes up, and Klocke's remaining patience goes down. Can he solve this murder with the help of his new polar opposite partner? Or will he go mad just trying to remain sane? { { o } } Highest rank in Mystery: #127 Thanks to @WhispersConfusions! I wouldn't be able to do the badges on the cover without her! COMPLETELY EDITED
