A spate of brutal murders in the Midlands aren't as straightforward as they seem and for one Detective Inspector, things are about to change forever...
 
DI Pritchard is a man on the edge. Almost one year after his wife and son are murdered, he returns to work and quickly finds himself working on a murder case where the body count keeps on rising. One of the victims turns out to be the brother of a man he sent down almost one year ago in an undercover operation that left him harbouring personal demons,

 Alan soon discovers that there's more to the murders than meets the eye. Evidence quickly stacks up, pointing towards a conspiracy that goes to the very top and Alan soon learns that the very people he works for may be involved...

Book 1: The Architect of Chaos by ASAJobe
55 parts Complete Mature
To understand a killer, you must walk the edge of your own mind. But how far is too far? Dr. Ava Sinclair, a brilliant but emotionally scarred psychiatrist, is tasked with evaluating Marcus Ravel, a notorious Trinidadian serial killer and the ruthless right-hand man of the infamous drug lord, Cyrus "The Ghost" Sadee. Marcus awaits execution, but his final wish is to speak with someone who can "understand" him. Ava is reluctant-her traumatic past in dealing with violent criminals resurfaces-but she accepts the challenge, drawn by a need to uncover the enigma behind his crimes. As Ava dives into Marcus's psyche, he begins to recount his crimes, painting each murder not as acts of brutality, but as pieces of a chilling "masterpiece"-each victim chosen and killed with unnerving precision for reasons only he fully understands. He speaks of patterns in human nature, a "design" he believes exists in chaos, and how he sees himself as the ultimate harbinger of justice for those who "disrupt the balance." Through their sessions, Ava finds herself entangled in Marcus's labyrinthine mind games. He reveals intimate knowledge of her past, suggesting he might have orchestrated events in her own life. She starts to question whether her role in this process is as objective as it seems or if Marcus has been manipulating her from the start. As Marcus recounts each crime, Ava begins to notice eerie similarities between his victims and people she knows. Is it coincidence, or is there a deeper connection between her and Marcus's gruesome "masterpiece"?
