Kill Who You Want by bigimp

What if it came to the starkest of all choices: kill, or else suffer the loss of a loved one? Readers' comments: 'simply the best', 'one of the best books I've read', 'loved it', 'amazing', 'great reading', 'stumped me to the very end' and others Plot: When a pregnant doctor is brutally murdered in her own kitchen, the husband claims to have some weeks earlier received an anonymous and darkly menacing letter. For the small town of Ravensby, it's just the start of a living nightmare - one in which nobody is spared from the murderous cross hairs, and which will drive Detective Inspector Kubič to the edge of his own sanity... Genre: suspense/thriller Status: completed Length: 70,000 words (approx. 275 standard novel pages) Target readership: Though aimed primarily at adults, the novel features several teenage characters and so may also appeal to a younger audience Extract: "Warn you sir, not a pretty sight in there." Kubič took a deep, preparatory breath, his footsteps slow and leaden as he moved towards the kitchen door. Not for the first time over the years, he found himself wishing he'd chosen an entirely different sort of career. Paper-pushing, something out of doors. Anything at all. He'd always been reasonable enough at woodwork back at school, he recalled. Why hadn't he done that, he thought? Become a cabinet maker or some damn thing. A reluctant hand pushed open the door... "Oh dear Christ." The words escaped his mouth forcefully, involuntarily, like blood gushing from an open wound

Trouble School by 16prof

Book Two of the Unofficial Case Files { { o } } Ten years ago, Detective Rodney Klocke had his first encounter with the supernatural. The case cost him his partner and closest friend, Doug Norgaard. A man who knew far more than he ever could've shared. Klocke had managed to forget this warp in reality, for the most part. Surely he'd only imagined all that? Ghosts? They don't exist. Except they do. It used to be his only officially unsolved case. Though he knew who the killer had been. While he's successfully solved every case placed on his desk since, his luck with partners hasn't improved. Save for Jennifer Haiden, who survived not only being the captive of a psychopathic killer, but has so far managed to survive being his partner. When Klocke finds an invitation to a ten-year highschool reunion on his desk (one with a personal letter to him written on the back), he's forced to revisit that case from all those years ago. He's forced to remember why he can't let anyone get too close. Because he might be more than jinxed. He might be cursed. { { o } } COMPLETELY EDITED
