A Christmas Killer, Comfort & Joy

By Doug Booth

Time is running out. Parker Williams must find and stop the Christmas Killer. First, he must tell Brenda Smithers the truth.

*

Marcus Simms is the quintessential Southern gentleman. He’s self-made, successful in business, sophisticated and worldly; yet, despite his good fortune, he never forgets the pitiful and desperate farm boy or the immoral young mother who defined his life thirty years earlier in the backwoods of South Carolina.

He’s charming, a ceaseless philanderer married to a cheating wife. He is also a driven and remorseless serial killer bent on balancing the scales of justice. Frank Adams is next, the most heinous of his targets. Marcus is eager for the deadly encounter, certain he will soon after find yet another comfort and joy that will ease the anguish of his own pending death.

Jed Billows is unwanted and unloved. He wants to escape his narrow and tormented existence, to flee from his brutal father and wantonly coquettish mother, wishing to one day become all that he envies in young Marcus Simms.

Listening in utter disbelief to what he says, Brenda Smithers is adamant. She wants nothing more to do with Parker Williams. Angry, stepping into her condo, she’s instantly terrified. The menacing intruder facing her is mass murderer Frank Adams.
