The McAllister Series: (1) Where the Bodies Are


Where the Bodies Are

The McAllister Series

Book 1

 

Whispers. Far away and insidious. Darkness.

 

To sleep more deeply is to dream more deeply.

In the darkness, where the nightmares live.

 

 

Step into the twisted mind of a serial killer in this disturbing psychological thriller.

 

What kind of dark secret pushes a man to commit the unimaginable, even as he is sickened by his own actions?

 

A young woman is found discarded with the trash, left for dead. More bodies begin to appear, left where they are sure to be found and cause a media frenzy.

 

While Detective Michael Underwood protects their only living witness, Detective Jim McNelly and his reporter friend Lawrence Hawkworth are determined to find the killer and bring his killing spree to an end.

 

The killer’s reality blurs between past and present with a compulsion driven by a dark secret locked in a fractured mind. Overcome by a blind rage that leaves him wallowing in remorse with the bodies of victim after victim, he is desperate to stop killing.

 

Accustomed to a life of abuse, one victim’s experience becomes her refuge in a desperate bid for survival.

 

The search for the killer will lead to his dark secret buried in the past, something much larger than a man compelled to kill again and again.

* * * * * * * 

Dead bodies are being left where they are sure to be found. But, the killer made a mistake; one victim left for dead survived.

 

Kept in a medically induced coma while she recovers, they can only watch her and wait for the killer to come back for her.

While Detective Michael Underwood protects their only living witness, Detective Jim McNelly and his reporter friend Lawrence Hawkworth are determined to find the killer and bring his killing spree to an end. Instead, they discover a bigger mystery.

 

The killer’s reality blurs between past and present with a compulsion driven by a dark secret locked in a fractured mind. Overcome by a blind rage that leaves him wallowing in remorse with the bodies of victim after victim, he is desperate to stop killing.

After learning of his victim’s survival, the killer sees it as a sign they are meant to be together. Threatening her tenuous grip on life, he is determined to take back his prize while he continues kidnapping and murdering young women.

 

Accustomed to a life of abuse, one victim’s experience becomes her refuge in a desperate bid for survival.

Instead of killing her, he keeps Katherine Kingslow imprisoned in the dark while he continues plotting to take back the Jane Doe in the hospital. How long can Kathy survive and will she lose her own mind?

 

The search for the killer will lead to his dark secret buried in the past, something much larger than a man compelled to kill again and again.

It's an old business that has been in the family for generations. Will Jason follow in his father's footsteps? Will he grow up to be just like his father, or worse?
