#1 in 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 Elliot "Adler" Salem, a cunning and enigmatic mercenary, navigates the world under two guises: as "The Mercenary," he is known for his cold-blooded efficiency, and as "The Blue-Eyed Killer," the most wanted criminal in New York City, his true face is hidden behind a mask.

Trace Evidence by psychthrillers

TRACE EVIDENCE is a story of murder, avarice and betrayal. Brothers Howard and Jeffrey Mills, both postal mail handlers, are initially suspects in the bludgeoning and dismembering murders of three prostitutes. Eventually, homicide detectives zero in on Howard as their primary target. An avalanche of forensic evidence leaves no doubt in anyone's mind that the women were killed in Howard’s one-room rental. In the words of the lead prosecuting attorney, “That room was a slaughterhouse.” But is Howard Mills the murderer? The defendant admits solely to the victims’ postmortem amputations. Extraordinary pressures are applied by the district attorney’s office for the police to quickly ensure a confession so as to deem Howard death penalty qualified. Suffolk County Homicide Detective Gary York misrepresents himself as an attorney who promises to help Howard by getting him into a mental hospital if he confesses; otherwise, life in prison without the possibility of parole versus the death penalty are the two alternatives presented to Mills. Howard accepts the offer but is left hanging in the wind at his arraignment, believing that he is legally well-represented. Howard Mills is found guilty and sentenced to die by lethal injection. Detective Gary York’s suspicions are raised that eventually point to another family member. The motive is money and invaluable properties—a veritable fortune if that person can successfully manipulate Howard into relinquishing his assets . . . sooner than later.

In The Garden by Mrjcl1031

Book 1: Two detectives try to decide if the events of a tragic massacre thirty years prior have anything to do with their current investigation. The truth they seek is buried in lies and in the minds of those who were there. Can ghosts of the past really come back? Is there more to the story than what lies on the surface? Are these ghosts of the past real or simply nothing more than a legend? "A lie would have no sense unless the truth were felt to be dangerous." Alfred Adler "And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity." Jeremiah 9:5
