A novel as thrilling as a crime movie, as fun as crime TV, and as sophisticated and psychological as classic crime fiction.

The Mystique of
Murder

 P. Pennington Douros

                          
                                                  

    
     Los Angeles' top murder investigator, P.I. Locke Sherwood, once concluded that a transcendent killer--one who kills free from any emotion, personal psychology, and past history--was an illusion. Now a serial killer, the Mirror Man, who claims that station, ensnares him in a deadly game; a killer with no M.O., random victims, and creative murder scenarios; a game killer, the most insane and dangerous. And an unexpected romance with beautiful, enigmatic psychic Kara Maestra swirls through the center of the danger. Murder, love, insanity, transcendence, games, and deception are key elements as well as an exploration of the skewered but fascinating psychology of a psychopathic killer.
     Rock a bye baby, a killer's high, when the clock tolls, the baby will die.
