When security specialist Sean A.P. Ryan agrees to protect actress Mira Nikolic at a Science Fiction convention, he thinks it can't be all bad. It's only a three-day weekend with some colorful characters in costumes.
But Sean is hardly prepared for what awaits him; the costumes, the fanboys, the freaks and geeks are only the beginning. There are actors with attitude problems, writers with rabies, and how do you spot an assassin when everyone is wearing a mask?
This doesn't even account for the real threats. When his client left Europe, she had been a figure of peace in a region that didn't want it. Now that she's an international celebrity, factions from the old country see her as the start of a reunion tour, with guns. Not only that, but she is being stalked by Middle Earth's Most Wanted Elven Assassin; he thinks that the actress is actually an Elven princess, and will do anything to prove it to her, including murder.
And what is that body doing in the middle of the vendor's floor with a sword-cane through his chest?

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.

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.

Her time is over. Things are looking up. She’s dirty and ugly. He’s wicked but handsome. Six months to toy with her. Six months of vacation and a ton of money. I’ll hurt her beyond repair. I’ve been through much worse. She's difficult to control and doesn't obey. I'm done submitting to anyone or anything in this life. I should hate her. I should hate him. The game has changed. I will win. Dirty Ugly Toy is a novel that blurs the lines of right and wrong, deals with abuse, contains dubious consent, and adult subject matter. If you are sensitive to violent sexual situations, the book may not be suitable for you. Some parts of this book are not easy to read and are not intended for everyone. However, those that keep an open mind and stick with it will not be disappointed.** Views: 44
