Murray
A police profiler is hired to catch a serial killer stalking the predators the system set free — and every page of the profile he writes points back at himself. Dexter meets Mindhunter, with the net closing in real time.
Eleven men have vanished from western Massachusetts without a body, a witness, or a trace. The forensic psychologist profiling their killer knows exactly where they went. He put them there.
By day, Dr. Murray Kemp evaluates criminals for the Berkshire County courts, teaches graduate seminars on predatory behavior, and consults for the detectives working the disappearances. By night — on a carefully managed schedule — he is the reason for them. Murray kills by a code: only predators, only the ones the system let walk, only with proof. He doesn't call it justice. He calls it maintenance.
Then the police ask him to profile the killer they've named Subject A.
The profile he writes is accurate. It has to be — an inaccurate consultant draws attention. But this investigation is better than any he's seen. A second, sloppier hunter is muddying his clean pattern. And his sister is starting to hear the wrong notes beneath her brother's calm. Murray has spent twelve years being invisible. Now the smartest investigators in Massachusetts are hunting him with a map he drew himself.
Murray: No One Sees is the first novel in a new series — a cold, hypnotic literary serial-killer thriller, a cat-and-mouse where the monster writes the profile. For readers of Jeff Lindsay, Mike Omer, and Patricia Highsmith.
