The Forth Jar

A Story of Justice and Obsession

By: JL Schneider

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In the humid streets of New Orleans, a monster once hunted in daylight. Claude James—known online as BigTom—was the kind of predator the headlines called The Noontime Stalker. His charm was disarming. His cruelty, unspeakable. Three women vanished before he disappeared too. Months later, a mutilated body is found in a forgotten alley off Chartres Street.
Detective Mark Sanchez has seen plenty of death, but nothing like this. Every cut, every missing piece tells a story of rage, precision, and poetic revenge. And it all points back to the families of Claude’s victims. For Sandra Gainer, a nurse anesthetist haunted by her sister’s murder, justice has a price—and her conscience may be the last thing she’s willing to pay. As Sanchez closes in, the boundaries between law and retribution blur. What began as a hunt for a killer becomes a descent into grief, guilt, and the darkest corners of the human heart.
The Fourth Jar is a chilling blend of psychological horror and crime thriller—a story of vengeance, morality, and the terrible beauty of justice served cold.
