Book 1 of The Smokescreen Murders 

He knows how to seek and he is very skilled at hiding. He knows how to blend in among the ordinary people despite his large and muscular frame. He uses his good looks to appear harmless to the un savvy. Deadliest of all, he knows the right shadows to shroud himself with, never revealing his dangerous presence until its much too late.

John and his team of detectives assigned to this case do their best to track this killer.  But he always seems to be one step ahead. Beating them at every turn. Mocking them even with a murder committed right in front of the medical examiner's home. Will the hide and seek killer be found and brought to justice or will more people die before the trail goes cold.
