The Taxidermy Killer: An FBI Serial Killer Mystery Thriller
Could you ask your daughter's murderer for help to stop a new serial killer?
"Criminal Minds meets The Silence of the Lambs—you won't put it down." - ★★★★★
A family of four is found murdered in their Georgia home. Then another in South Carolina. Then another. Each killing follows the same disturbing pattern—a pattern that only one man recognises. And he prays that he's wrong.
Former FBI profiler Augustine Carver leads a team of failed agents nobody else wanted, handling cases nobody else will touch. But this case is different. Because the only person who can decode these killings is the same man who destroyed Carver's life.
Father Hermann Zimmer sits in a psychiatric ward, blinded and waiting. His congregation is still out there. Still killing. Still following the dark gospel he preached across the American South.
To stop the killer, Carver must do the one thing he swore he'd never do—go back to the monster and ask for his help.
"Father Zimmer is my new favourite Dr Lecter—except he doesn't take livers, he takes souls." - ★★★★★
For fans of James Patterson's Alex Cross, Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta, Tess Gerritsen's Rizzoli & Isles, and anyone who thought The Silence of the Lambs needed more religion and less redemption.
