MYSTERY & SERIAL KILLER THRILLER BOX SET (four full-length novels)

4.3/5 ( ratings)

From internationally bestselling author Jon Osborne comes four chilling tales of murder and revenge.

THE CALENDAR KIDNAPPER
When eight-year-old June McMillan is taken from outside her school by an unhinged former mental patient who steals children named after the months of the year, she dissociates in a wondrous fantasyland she calls "Rainbow Bridges," where the shiny silver trout talk to each other in their special bubble language and the friendly beavers never, ever eat them.

With another skull-cracking hangover to keep him company along the way, veteran Fort Myers cop Max Clayton is thrust into the case when he begins to investigate the murder of the little girl's mother on the same day June is taken.

Pairing with an old colleague from his days in the FBI - Special Agent Lacey Billups - Clayton is forced to unravel the mind of a madman before it's too late and Rainbow Bridges comes tumbling down forever.

THREE TIMES A LADY
Sometimes we all have somebody else living inside us…

Blood-red lipstick?
Check.
Six-inch stilettos and a slinky black dress that goes with every occasion?
Check.
A freshly sharpened knife, fully loaded handgun and an overwhelming desire to rid the world of all the phonies out there?

Check, check and check.

The Censor is a bloodthirsty killer who has identity issues that run more than just skin deep – though that certainly plays a part in it, too. And now he’s on a mission. Raised since birth to seek the limelight, he believes that fame should come at a cost – especially what he considers undeserved fame.

Striking during hurricanes, blizzards and other natural disasters – when law-enforcement resources are already stretched to the point of snapping – he considers his targets’ lives as reality-TV stars, jet-setting heiresses and talentless pop singers to be an affront to what true fame should mean.

By drawing on Special Agent Dana Whitestone's celebrity as the most talked-about FBI agent in recent memory, this murderous modern-day Holden Caulfield won't rest until all the phonies are eliminated and his own name is up in lights.

Bigger and brighter than all the rest.

SKIN: THE WHITE POWER MURDERS
A sadistic white-power group known as "The Brotherhood" is doing the unthinkable to young, successful black women in the primes of their lives. Headed by a charismatic leader known as "the Race Master," the organization will go to any lengths to ensure that its stomach-turning brand of genocide receives the brightest possible global spotlight.

When Cleveland-based P.I. Angel Monroe's investigation meets with that of FBI Special Agent Dana Whitestone, the two women must join forces to put a stop to the Brotherhood's heartless actions before it's too late -- before Adolf Hitler's diabolical master plan becomes a horrible, 21st-century reality.

SHARP FORCE TRAUMA
An unhinged 16-year-old chess prodigy is on the loose and wreaking havoc on the general public with a machinegun by recreating infamous mass-shootings after escaping from an upstate New York detention center for youthful offenders. Jack Yuntz is on a mission, and he won't rest until he puts Special Agent Dana Whitestone in her place:

Six feet under.
