Casey Norris

A ruthless killer. A retiring detective. A game of life and death. Detective Casey Norris has finally accepted, after thirty years on the force, that the time has come for him to retire. His body is slowing down, his mind can't be far behind and he won't allow either to decide his fate. He is ready to go out on his terms. But, before it can be made official, a killer emerges from the darkness with a mission. A mission that must be carried out through blood and death. A mission that will not be complete until the killer has the thing they want the most. The death of Casey Norris. Norris has never been a step behind, but as he and his team of detectives work to stop the rising body count, the murders begin hitting too close to home. It becomes evident that the killing will not stop until he or the killer is dead. Will he be able to protect those closest to him? Or has he finally met the monster he cannot stop?

A new case. A new monster. A city where no family is safe. Detective Casey Norris has gotten his badge back, after coming out of retirement, and is back in charge of his team of detectives, which features a couple of new members. There is little time for introductions, however, as a new case has hit their desks featuring a monster unlike anything they have ever seen. Helena has a new serial killer. A killer who has hit a breaking point. A killer who is hunting young families. A sadistic individual who seems to have no limits and who refuses to leave anyone in the city with a feeling of hope or safety. Norris and his team are in a race against the clock as this new predator allows less and less time between each kill. Norris must work to understand the individual he pursues while fighting through his own personal demons which threaten to derail his case, as well as his life. Being a part of a family is supposed to create a feeling of comfort and love, but for this killer, it only creates a new target.

What kind of monster preys on children? Detective Casey Norris and his team are back and they are taking on their most gruesome case yet. Each of them have dealt with bodies, but very rarely have they dealt with the bodies of children. Helena has a new monster. One who hunts, day and night, and worst of all...a monster who hunts children. Norris and the others attempt to work through the grisly nature of their newest case, but for Detective Kathy Proctor, this one truly is personal. As the reason for the killings unfolds, the team begins to realize that this killer is much more complicated than they could have ever guessed, and this killer prefers bullets to a jail cell. The goal is never to kill a suspect, but this time, both cop and killer are content with that outcome. Children are so innocent, but for this predator, that makes them the perfect target.
