Killer Dead, Victim Alive: The serial killer’s dead. The final prisoner's alive. What happened? What’s next? (The Serial Killer Anthology Book 2) by Michael Geczi (Tierra Buena Publishing) (32 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

"A wild ride. We got not just one dysfunctional, dangerous villain but two. Even when I think I know what's going on Michael manages to pull a surprise out of his hat." "If you're a fan of Freida McFadden, David Baldacci, or Harlan Coben, you'll find this book captivating and imaginative." The serial killer is dead; the expected seventh victim is alive, and the Santa Monica detectives and the FBI agents are shaking their heads. "Who-done-it" meets "why-done-it." The result: A twisty mystery, spiked with psychological and cultural implications, all playing out in sun-drenched Santa Monica. Police Detectives Mollie Granger and Greg Nichols respond to a call near the world-famous pier. A dead male, shot in the forehead at close range, is posed in the sand. He's Keith Victor, a serial killer who's murdered six persons and kidnapped a possible seventh, Chrissy Weeks. Meanwhile, six miles away, Weeks walks into a police station, says, "I think you've been looking for me," and claims Victor dropped her off outside an hour earlier. Quite the trick, given the coroner says Victor's been dead for thirty-six hours. Weeks, a narcissist with a complex backstory, views most people as chess pieces to be played. And she's playing at mega speed, even though her never-ending lies and moves - some of which backfire - quickly turn her into a suspect from a victim. The case comes at a difficult time for Granger, a middle-class white cop having relationship problems with Gwen Seward, a wealthy African-American civil rights attorney. They've drifted apart since the George Floyd murder shined a bright light on their differences and challenges. They've even tabled plans for marriage and kids. Granger focuses on Weeks even as she and Seward attempt to repair their relationship. In the process, the detective learns that families, love, truth, and understanding overcome personal and professional challenges and bring unexpected second chances.
