Book 1
BLUFF CITY BUTCHER

The Bluff City Butcher was a monster of urban legend. But then he stepped from the fog of a century-old mystery and threw a midsouth community into unbridled terror. When world-renowned forensic sleuth Dr. Elliot Sumner gets the call from the BCB, he knows he is not dealing with just any serial killer. Not only is the BUTCHER a genius psychopath and prolific killing machine, he is the genetic recipient of a legendary mutation that people will kill for. The gifted forensic sleuth hunts the monster while battling his own inner demons—decades of victims and their heinous killers locked inside his perfect photographic memory and eating away at his heart. Could Elliott's internal battles kill him? Could they get in the way of stopping the BCB? Will bring an end to the reign of terror be enough to solve the century-old mystery he uncovered? Will it destroy the greatest evolutionary leap for mankind—the immortality gene?
