The City of San Francisco is locked in a grip of fear. A series of occult murders has lead, Inspector Thomas James to a crime scene similar to a murder committed 90 years ago in the once grand Aleris Hotel. A place where power barons of the early 20th Century engaged in witchcraft. And silent film stars indulged in the most wicked of sins. A place where no one questions the black smoke that rises from the hotel's incinerators in the middle of the night. Views: 44
Shane Lasher is a criminal attorney with a grave secret. He is a serial killer who only kills bad guys—his own clients. Shane has spent his life hunting the StoneCutter, one very bad killer. The StoneCutter buries his victims alive and leaves them for dead. One year ago, he was captured and charged with murder. Shane defended him and got him acquitted. Then he killed the StoneCutter. Or so he thought—it seems his murders have started over again. Now, Shane must find this cold, sadistic killer before it's too late.Review* "SHANE LASHER IS A LAWYER MAKING A KILLING!!!!" *--MIAMI HERALD. "SCOTT BLADE'S KILLER OF KILLERS IS LIKE DR. LECTOR AND MR. HYDE!" --GOODREADS.** **"DEXTER EAT YOUR HEART OUT! A NEW VIGILANTE HERO IS HERE!" --JACKIE LEE, THE BURGER MAGAZINE. "DIABOLICAL!" **--POLITICO.From the AuthorSerial killers have been written many times before, but not like this. Book series from the past that offered a serial killer as a hero (Dexter, The Punisher, Mr. Monster, and Mr. Brooks, etc.) have all acknowledged that a serial killer has an alter ego, a dark side, or voice inside of them. The S.Lasher & Associates series is seen through the eyes of the voice/creature/dark thing that lives in Shane Lasher-the hero. Each book is a mystery and a stand alone novel. Yet, each book is connected in a larger story. And each is told from the perspective of a dark voice in Shane's head. So as Shane is hunting and killing other bad guys, the creature in his head fights to control him. Shane fights for his humanity against the darkness inside him. At the same time, he has to maintain his disguise in the world so that no one suspects that this criminal defender, who represents serial killers for a living, is also a serial killer that hunts other serial killers down and kills them.
