Husband and wife police detectives, both married more to the badge than each other, have inevitable conflict within their marriage and their careers are put to the test when a serial killer invades their quiet and peaceful community. Detective Rebecca Storme, the only woman in the detective bureau, and sole member of the Sex Crimes Unit, finds that the killer will not only challenge her career, her marriage, but her very life. Veteran Detective Sergeant Peter Storme, already caught up in the infighting of the police department and city management, is drawn deeper into his career battles and challenges as the killer makes his appearance in his town. What is ahead for the police department, and especially for two of its detectives, is many sleepless nights as the killer increases his maniacal assault on the innocent women and children of San Remo. Those dedicated to preserving peace are pushed to their limits. The story is fast moving, often riveting, and often disturbing as the cops are repeatedly challenged by a psychopathic killer who has them all in his grip.

Author

Don Pendleton was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, December 12, 1927 and died October 23, 1995 in Arizona. He wrote mystery, action/adventure, science-fiction, crime fiction, suspense, short stories, nonfiction, and was a comic scriptwriter, poet, screenwriter, essayist, and metaphysical scholar. He published more than 125 books in his long career, and his books have been published in more than 25 foreign languages with close to two hundred million copies in print throughout the world. After producing a number of science-fiction and mystery novels, Don launched in 1969 the phenomenal Mack Bolan: The Executioner, which quickly emerged as the original, definitive Action/Adventure series. His successful paperback books inspired a new particularly American literary genre during the early 1970's, and Don became known as "the father of action/adventure." "Although The Executioner Series is far and away my most significant contribution to world literature, I still do not perceive myself as 'belonging' to any particular literary niche. I am simply a storyteller, an entertainer who hopes to enthrall with visions of the reader's own incipient greatness." Don Pendleton's original Executioner Series are now in ebooks, published by Open Road Media. 37 of the original novels. Wikipedia: Don Pendleton
