Deadly Games

Elusive Killers #1

by Alexis Kennedy

In a race against the clock, everyone is a suspect.

St. Louis has one of the highest crime rates in America, and now it’s suffering from a new kind of unspeakable violence. A sadistic artist with a macabre flair is using torture and murder as inspiration.

Detective Sasha Delossa and her partners in the SLCPD Homicide Unit scramble to decipher a killer’s cryptic taunts when the streets run red with blood. Combing through their usual suspects, they soon realize this killer is no ordinary unsub. This one is untraceable and just getting started.

The case takes another harrowing turn when Sasha becomes the serial killer’s obsession. And when he abducts her sister, she’ll risk everything to stop him. But can the detectives uncover the Slasher’s motive in time to catch him?

Sasha Delossa is a rookie Homicide Detective, although she's been a law enforcement officer in the gangs division for several years.

Her first case for her and her team is a woman found murdered. She'd been missing for several days. She had been tortured, slashed, beaten, starved.

She will not be the only victim of this sadistic killer. He doesn't seem to have a preference...almost anyone will do. Women, Men, Black, White, Old, Young ..makes no difference at all.

But then he sets his sights on Sasha .... and the killer may be closer than anyone knows.

This is a chilling nail-biter with a really terrifying obsessive killer testing his mettle against a female antagonist who only wants justice for her victims. There is a slight cliff hanger, and I look forward to seeing Sasha grows into her chosen profession.

Many thanks to the author / Mystery Moguls (FB) for the digital copy of this psychological thriller. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

This book is amazing and will have you on the edge until the very end where there is a twist that I truly did not see coming. I thoroughly enjoyed this book it was well written and should be a movie it is so engrossing. CSI and Criminal Minds have nothing on this book. I highly recommend this book if you like intrigue, mystery, bad ass heroines, and a twists.

A killer is creating fear in the city and she is a cop who has caught his attention. The killer is using the bodies as art which is very upsetting for all those involved. Will she get him before he gets to her? How many murders will there be? See if she can get the killer
