Atropos

By Royce Wilson

ONE MUTILATED BODY. A CITY-WIDE KILLING SPREE. AND A KILLER WHO HASN'T FINISHED YET.

Detective Riley Scott is expecting a routine murder investigation. Instead, he finds himself hunting a killer who seems to have no motive, no pattern, and no intention of stopping.

When a mutilated body turns up in Tampa, Scott and his fellow detectives begin a desperate search for answers. But as the body count rises, the case takes a deeply personal turn. Scott's girlfriend disappears. Fellow officers begin dying. And the evidence seems to point in a direction he can't accept.

Then Scott is suspended from duty.

With his badge gone and time running out, he must continue the investigation on his own-and confront two terrifying possibilities:

Is the woman he loves the killer... or the next victim?

Written by a 40-year law-enforcement forensics veteran, Atropos delivers an authentic police procedural with forensic detail, relentless suspense, and twists that keep coming until the final page.

If you like Michael Connelly, Patricia Cornwell, Karin Slaughter, Robert Dugoni, Harry Bosch, and Alex Cross, meet Detective Riley Scott.

Atropos is the first novel in the Riley Scott crime thriller series.
