The Cruelest Cut

By Rick Reed

       Detective Jack Murphy is up against a determined, deadly and deranged adversary who delights in unspeakable acts of cruelty. The serial killer taunts the authorities with fractured nursery rhymes left on his victims’ corpses.

“There will be more” is not an idle threat, but if Murphy has his way there won’t be as many deaths as the killer is planning. In fact, not only does he accept the “invitation” to play, but the tough cop also intends to do whatever it takes to terminate this sick game and the player who has conceived it!

Retired detective Rick Reed brings an insider’s knowledge to this novel that makes it a chilling read. He has investigated serial killers during his two decades with the police department and has a knack of making novels of this ilk come alive.
