The Legal Killer

When a woman's mutilated body is discovered in a disturbing display, a single clue points detectives toward Des Cook, a history student at a university in Georgia. As he's questioned, he’s left confused and terrified—wondering why he’s being targeted when he has no apparent connection to the crime.

Soon, the real killer contacts him by phone, pulling him into a sadistic game of solving historical riddles and traveling to the locations they reveal. The caller warns that if Des refuses to comply, another victim will die—and even implies that his girlfriend will be harmed if he breaks the rules.

Driven into psychological torment and partnered with FBI profiler Amanda Hertzel, Des is forced to continue this menacing cat-and-mouse chase with a killer who seems determined to punish him for reasons he doesn’t yet understand.

This gripping blend of historical fiction and psychological suspense makes The Legal Killer an enthralling read and a standout sequel to The Arlington Orders. The subplot exploring how this ordeal strains his relationship adds an emotional layer that will resonate with more sentimental readers who also crave mystery.
