THE UNIVERSAL KILLER

The first body was found along the River Walk. A second body was found at the museum. Both bodies had been posed a certain way that led Detective Erik Miller to believe that the killer was making some kind of a statement, though he didn't know what that statement might be. When a small package arrives at the Manchester Police Department addressed to Detective Miller, it contains a poem that promises another victim will soon be left somewhere in the city, and a note that taunts the detective. Miller now has a serial killer on his hands. The bodies are being posed and the poems and taunting notes are clues to why the killer is killing women. Miller just has to understand what it all means. Detective Kristen Day is assigned to the case to help Miller. As the body count increases, they come to understand just what it is The Universal Killer is doing, and that a woman, Megan the Roach, may be the key to stopping the madness. And why, in the taunting notes from the killer, is Detective Miller being accused of being the reason for the rampage?
THE UNIVERSAL KILLER is not a study in police procedure. It is more of a psychological journey into the mind of madness and what might cause a mind to go there. Occasionally, we get a first person glimpse into that tortured mind. And when we do, it is frightening to realize how narrow the border is between normalcy and insanity. How easy it is to step over that border. That, with enough adversity, real or perceived, any one of us could be forced over that line.
