To Catch A Killer Novels & Stories

She fell back on the bed with her bare feet still on the floor. “Yeah, afraid so.” “Can I get you to go back and chase the yeti or bigfoot? Maybe a flying saucer?” Ian chuckled at that, “Not since I saw a man change into an eagle.” “Oh, crap, that takedown was legendary. You’re the one that got that nasty thing off the surface of this planet?” “What?” “Howard Killian. Eagle Shifter. Wanted on various crimes including kidnapping, theft, and substance manipulation.” “What is substance manipulation?”

'Wanted to confirm it first. 'How do you know it's not the serial murderer?', I repeated the question. 'According to the news she was killed at night. But the serial killer who supposedly killed her was caught in the morning of the same day.' 'How do you know he was caught in the morning?' 'I have my ways. But to quench your curiosity, one of the guys in the team who caught him was my Friend.' 'Since when are you buddies with the police?' Instead of bestowing me with a reply, he said, 'he was on the chase when I called him for my business. I do not concert much with the specifics. It's not my problem, suffice it to say he was caught in that chase',

I turned on the tv in the office room. 'Good evening ladies and gentlemen, yesterday at 1am in the bar on the Egoless high way the Black Hunter strikes again. The police and detective on these cases are working extremely hard to get the culprit behind the name but in the mean time they advise everyone to not go out late and to be very aware of their surroundings when they are outside.' I zoned out. They play me out to be such a bad guy. When it’s the detective that are stupid for not putting the puzzle pieces together. I only kill rapists, sex offenders and abusers that their justice system has failed for the victim of those people.

His right hand, which gripped the steering wheel, also bore a scratch. Caitlin kept her composure, though internally, she began to connect the dots. Recently, there had been a series of gruesome murders in New York, targeting young women. The killer would lure them out to the wilderness, only to brutally kill them and dispose of their bodies. The police had been struggling to find any clues, and the killer’s anti-detection skills were exceptional. Caitlin’s mind raced as the taxi continued its route. She took a deep breath and focused her attention.

Marvin Sullivan is trying to be one step ahead of the serial killer. He wanted to know what her next move is going to be. He wanted to hit two birds in one stone, finally catching the killer and preventing another death. Their department has been in a horrible spot since the serial killing begin. They haven't had any concrete lead or valid witness.

I asked, sounding as dumbfounded as I felt. He rolled his eyes, "Reduce your voice, I don't want people listening to what we are saying." I nodded, facing the TV to continue like all was fine in my world and my face wasn't on TV as a murder suspect. "What do you mean by catch the killer? You got the warrant and came to my house, you also found incriminating evidence, and you're asking me what I would do to catch the killer? I thought I was the killer." I couldn't prevent the sting in my voice.

I nudged my head towards the top bannister, and he followed my gaze before giving me a weird little nod. I am not the investigator Amun is. He can take the thousands of small threads and snippets of information we uncover and tie them into a bow and point out who, why, and where the criminal is. My nature is more wolfish, a predator that hounds and charges and snaps with fang and claw until its prey is subdued - yet I felt I finally had an idea how to find our killer. If, and I do stress ‘if’, the killer had pushed Estelle off the bannister, it was almost a certainty I would be able to detect their scent on the body unless of course, my girl was the murderer.

"What if that's why the killer is targeting everyone now?" Everyone looked at him. Damian's eyes moved between Quinn and Adrian. "What if the murders aren't revenge for a death?" His voice dropped lower. "What if they're revenge for covering one up?" Nobody had an answer. Because for the first time since the investigation began, that theory actually fit. Almost too well. Then another memory surfaced in Adrian's mind. A small detail. One he hadn't thought about in years. His expression changed instantly. Quinn noticed. "What is it?"

But as usual he hadn't let her get the satisfaction of seeing a frown on his face. “If you ever run away from me, Vina, I will come and find you. This world isn't big enough to hide you from me,” he boasted, almost making her want to play this game of chase. She was very close to testing him if not for the mission that she had been assigned with. Killing someone would definitely take priority over anything else. According to the profile of the victim that she had been given, this woman herself had been a killer or an Assassin once. This should have scared Vevina instead it made her nerves tingle from the excitement of meeting someone of her own caliber or mental state.

None of them had gotten it right. The real thing standing in my doorway, catching the light from my hall lamp was something else entirely. It was not costume. It was not theater. It was a specific, intentional, centuries-old object, and it was being worn by a man who had chosen it the way a man chooses a signature. The Verdict Killer was standing in my living room. I want to be precise about what that meant. Because if you live outside this city, or if you don’t read the tabloids, or if you don’t listen to the podcasts — you might think he was just one more name on one more news cycle.
