Above the Law
Walking in a southwesterly direction, a killer leaves a trail of death as he strikes down random Chicago homeowners.
Homicide Detective Jesse McCord and his team vow to get ahead of the madman, yet the only clue they have is the direction in which he’s going. Because he doesn’t use a car or a credit card and has no traceable hotel stays, the killer remains invisible.
Chicago is overtaken by the fear of a serial killer on the roam, and a vague description given by two homeless men is cold comfort. The killer could be anyone’s next-door neighbor.
Thinking outside the box, Jesse and his partner, Frank Mills, work tirelessly to unearth the killer’s motive, yet it’s the why that has them baffled.
When an unexpected breakthrough comes in the form of a single fingerprint, it sets off a chain of events that shakes the foundations of Chicago’s legal system. Privacy is pitted against justice, and the lives of everyone touched by this case are forever changed.
Editorial
“A serial killer manages to elude Chicago police until the day he leaves a partial fingerprint in a victim’s wallet. For Homicide Detective Jesse McCord and his colleagues, learning the killer’s identity is almost as shocking as the discovery of the grisly bodies. A spine-tingling read!” Angela M., Line Editor, Red Adept Editing

A definite must read book and series
This was another fantastic addition to this terrific series! It was a heartbreaking, tragic, and devastating story of horrific murders caused by an unknown man who didn't leave much behind for the investigators. However, just like every criminal before him, his mistakes started mounting up. When DetectiveMcCord, along with his boss, partner, and the rest of the Homicide team, started putting the pieces together, most of the puzzle came together quickly. However, none of them expected the way the cases would twist and turn into the unbelievable ending. It's certainly not a story that you'll want to miss!
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.
Can't wait to read the next book, and hopefully there will be many more stories in the near future!

Excellent!
CM Sutter does a great job of creating stories that make you turn the pages. When bodies turn up with no apparent connection, investigators realize each one is in a southern trajectory on the map. But with no leads and no identifying evidence, how do you stop a killer that no one has seen?

Jesse McCord solves another case!
I liked the fact that the book kept me on the edge of my seat. Would recommend this to anyone who likes detective novels. I can't wait for the next one you write Cheryl.

C.M. Sutter Is Fantastic!
Just finished Book 11 of the Jesse McCord Police Thriller series (finished Book 10 this morning). There hasn’t been one book by this author I haven’t read non-stop! From Page 1 - you are pulled in and there are no lulls!
