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.
