When the ninth young girl falls into the clutches of a serial killer, maverick detective, David Temeke, faces a race against time to save her life.
The Duke City Police Department in Albuquerque, New Mexico is no stranger to gruesome murders, but this new serial killer on their block keeps the body parts of his eight young victims as trophies and has a worrying obsession with the number 9. The suspect is incarcerated in the state's high security penitentiary but Unit Commander Hackett is faced with a dilemma when another teenage girl goes missing.
Detective Temeke and his new partner, Malin Santiago, are sent to solve a baffling crime in the dense forests of New Mexico's Cimarron State Park. But time is running out. Can they unravel the mysteries of Norse legends and thwart the 9th Hour killer before he dismembers his next victim?

She must convince Detective Collins of her innocence, but how can she explain her ties to the victims, and the evidence that has her name written all over it? Then there's the mysterious Facebook profile, DarkHeart434. Who is DarkHeart434? And why does it seem like this person has all the answers, including the identity of the real murderer? As pieces of the puzzle start to come together, everything about Abigale's life begins to unravel--her past, her present . . . and even her self-proclaimed innocence. *** Copyright (C) Amy Crandall (xXAmy_CXx) Book Cover Copyright (C) Sparkes #7 in Mystery/Thriller on February 1, 2018 Published to Wattpad on August 10, 2016 Second draft published to Wattpad on July 4, 2017 Published by Limitless Publishing on September 4, 2018Terminé
Mark of the Obsession
Detective Celeste Marlowe is no stranger to darkness, but nothing could prepare her for the twisted games of a serial killer determined to make her his greatest audience. In New York City, the murders begin with a single, unsettling detail-a red rose placed next to the body. As the body count rises, the killer's ritual grows more elaborate and chilling. Each crime scene is a carefully orchestrated display, a grotesque masterpiece meant to be admired, understood, and, above all, recognized. The killer is methodical, highly intelligent, and compulsive-his need for recognition drives every brutal act. He isn't just taking lives; he's manipulating the narrative, shaping a story he expects Celeste to decipher. With every murder, he leaves behind symbols tied to his past, each more cryptic and menacing than the last. His obsession with perfection and power pushes him to test Celeste in ways no one has before, drawing her deeper into his twisted game. As Celeste races against the clock to stop him, she begins to see unsettling parallels between his obsession and her own hidden darkness. The media feeds his ego, amplifying his recognition, while Celeste's personal trauma resurfaces, blurring the line between hunter and prey. With each new clue, Celeste finds herself questioning not just the killer's motives but her own psyche. The killer is watching, waiting, and he knows exactly how to push her to the edge. Mark of the Obsession is a psychological thriller that delves into the chilling mind of a sadistic serial killer and the detective determined to stop him. As Celeste confronts the killer's manipulations, she must face the deepest corners of her own soul-and the terrifying truth that the game is never truly over.Terminé
The Things We Couldn't Forget
Growing up with a nickname like Misery can seem like the worst thing to happen to a girl. That is, until you find out that your father is a serial killer. Ten years after escaping the town that would never allow her to escape her father's dark shadow, Missouri Jacobs returns to Faulkner Montana with one mission in mind. She needs to settle her family's estates, then she can take that money and start a new life, maybe even with a new name, someplace no one knows her or the stories that surrounded her family. However, returning to her childhood home brings back all of the memories Missouri has been spending years trying to forget. And a chance run in with a boy she once loved with all of her heart makes not drowning in those memories over and over even harder. All set to leave, Missouri wants nothing more than to put Faulkner and everything that happened there truly in the past once and for all, but then... Another girl goes missing. Then another. Then another. Wrapped in a fog of déjà vu and separating the present from her past, Missouri is determined not to be blindsided this time. This new killer might be playing games with her, but this time, she's going to be the one to end this all, or she'll die trying.Terminé
