The City of Legends Shooter
Found naked and bleeding atop a seaside cliff, his wounds should have cost him his life, but instead they cost him his memories.
Three years later, now in his early 60s, this man still has no idea who he is, or why he possesses an inexplicable gift for evidentiary deduction.
Leah O’Toole, a rookie with the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC), has already proven herself to be a top-shelf cop. So, when a gun-totting killer terrorizes the streets of St. John’s, O’Toole recruits the man with no memory, hoping to utilize his deductive genius.
But the young rookie regrets her decision instantly after this man reveals his cognitive genius comes from his communications with metaphysical entities he refers to as -- Elementals.
O’Toole wants to cut-and-run immediately, thinking this man insane. But with the shooter continuing to wreak havoc and her superiors expecting miracles, Leah decides to humour the old man and his so-called supernatural powers.
With a partner off his head and a killer poised to strike again, it’s all O’Toole can do to keep her own sanity while trying to stop the City of Legends Shooter.
Will our paradoxical duo stop this killer before the next body drops?
Or will newfound evidence halt them in their tracks?
Especially when it’s revealed this psychotic killer might have direct ties to these invisible Elementals Constable Leah O’Toole refuses to believe actually exist!

As an avid reader, I am always trying to find a book to feed my insatiable appetite. It has been some time since I have read a book from start to finish within a day due to a heighten sense of anticipation. Thankfully I was turned on to this book by a friend and not only have a I clicked to "follow" but am ready to buy more. I was pleasantly wrong in all my assumptions of the main character's mysterious background and of course completely thrown off by the "who's that bad guy?" which seems so obvious now a days to the laziness of current popular writers. A mystery, action, with a sprinkle of fantasy rolled into one makes this a pleasantly happy surprise. I rarely write reviews, but took the time to write this one...I highly recommend.

I couldn’t stop reading this book! The mystery had me on the edge of my seat. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for book 2!

Loved this book. The vivid descriptions of the community made me feel like I was in middle arm looking across the water at my hometown of Conception Harbour. Can’t wait for your next book

The ‘who done it’ type of mystery stories are some of my absolute favorite ones to read.
Especially when there is also a (believable) vein of the Supernatural woven throughout.
With ‘Shooter...’ ,
Mr Chase has written one of the best examples of this type of story that Ive ever read!
This is one that will have you trying to figure it out all the way to the reveal, and even then leave you still wanting more!
A superbly written, cleverly layered plot that’s rich in both texture and details.
Thaine Chase has once more written one of those tales with Characters that are described so well you’ll feel as if you personally know the people!
All taking place in a location so beautifully written its like you’re seeing it in person.
Be sure to get your copy!Then see if you can figure it out, before it’s to late!

The book grabs you immediately and doesn't let go until the end. I get tired of reading books where you make a serious time investment only to be disappointed at the end. This book was full of substance and engages the reader to want to figure out what is going on. Just when you think you have it figured out another twist happens and draws you in deeper. When you reach the end everything is explained and the smallest of details in the book makes sense. I love books where there are pertinent clues throughout that have guided you the entire way if only you had paid attention. This book is full of them. If you love a great crime thriller mystery, you will love this book!

WOW!! I LOVED THIS BOOK!! Couldn't guess who the killer was (and I'm usually pretty good at that). I enjoy a good mystery and this one definitely didn't disappoint. The characters were intriguing and well developed and the story flowed nicely - I couldn't put this book down... and there's a cool connection to the Elementals that was right up my alley. I CAN'T WAIT for the second book!

I did not expect this type of story in a mystery and I'm not so much with the supernatural thing, but I need to make an exception this time. I loved this book! Being from Newfoundland and the story being set in St. John's was a bonus because it felt more intimate.
I look forward to the author's next book in this series.

A page turner with a twisty element that took a bit of getting used to, but it didn't stop me from reading it, so good on ya Thaine Chase.
