SERIAL KILLER THRILLER BOX SET
From internationally bestselling thriller author Jon Osborne (Der Spiegel, Official UK Top 50) comes three chilling tales of revenge and murder.
This box set THREE TIMES A LADY; THE WHITE POWER MURDERS and SHARP FORCE TRAUMA, all full-length novels.
THREE TIMES A LADY
Sometimes we all have somebody else living inside us…
Blood-red lipstick?
Check.
Six-inch stilettos and a slinky black dress that goes with every occasion?
Check.
A freshly sharpened knife, fully loaded handgun and an overwhelming desire to rid the world of all the phonies out there?
Check, check and check.
The Censor is a bloodthirsty killer who has identity issues that run more than just skin deep – though that certainly plays a part in it, too. And now he’s on a mission. Raised since birth to seek the limelight, he believes that fame should come at a cost – especially what he considers undeserved fame.
Striking during hurricanes, blizzards and other natural disasters – when law-enforcement resources are already stretched to the point of snapping – he considers his targets’ lives as reality-TV stars, jet-setting heiresses and talentless pop singers to be an affront to what true fame should mean.
By drawing on Special Agent Dana Whitestone's celebrity as the most talked-about FBI agent in recent memory, this murderous modern-day Holden Caulfield won't rest until all the phonies are eliminated and his own name is up in lights.
Bigger and brighter than all the rest, of course.
THE WHITE POWER MURDERS
A sadistic white-power group known as "The Brotherhood" is doing the unthinkable to young, successful black women in the primes of their lives. Headed by a charismatic leader known as "the Race Master," the organization will go to any lengths to ensure that its stomach-turning brand of genocide receives the brightest possible global spotlight.
When Cleveland-based P.I. Angel Monroe's investigation meets with that of FBI Special Agent Dana Whitestone, the two women must join forces to put a stop to the Brotherhood's heartless actions before it's too late -- before Adolf Hitler's diabolical master plan becomes a horrible, 21st-century reality.
SHARP FORCE TRAUMA
An unhinged sixteen-year-old chess prodigy is on the loose and wreaking havoc on the general public with a machinegun after escaping from a youth-correctional facility in upstate New York.
His ultimate Special Agent Dana Whitestone of the FBI, who he blames for the bloody death of his beloved mother at the hands of a pair of sadistic serial killers that she hadn't been able to stop.
Jack Yuntz won't rest until he springs his final checkmate move on his hated quarry, preferably with a knife. A little bit of sharp force trauma to drive home the point that she's a miserable failure at her job who doesn't deserve to live anymore.
PRAISE FOR JON OSBORNE'S OTHER WORK
"Terrifying, suspenseful and genuinely original, Kill Me Once will chill you to the bone."—Karin Slaughter, bestselling author of Broken.
"I felt like I was being chased by an axe-murderer. If you like a hard edge that glitters and drips, you’ll enjoy Mr. Osborne’s first foray." -- Cody Mcfadyen, bestselling author of the "Smoky Barrett" series.
“The plot is pretty complicated and one that probably won’t be solved by guesswork by the reader. However, it is still very well written and Osborne seems very comfortable in his writing style and writes like a seasoned professional."—Crimesquad.com
