The Executioner

book ten of the Bo Austen series

A presumed suicide in Clinstone, Minnesota draws Bo Austen and Jensen Taylor away from their honeymoon and back home to their daughters. A man has jumped off the roof of Clinstone Elementary, a noose around his neck, tied to the old school bell atop the roof. For Bo, it simply doesn’t add up.

If one is going to kill himself, why jump and hang yourself? Why do it at a school for children to see? Was it one last bout of gratification? One last round of sick pleasure? Or, Bo can’t help but wonder, is this a homicide?

Crime scene after crime scene pops up in Clinstone, each one dark, twisted, and gruesome. Looking at each one individually, they don’t seem connected, but looking at them together connects the dots for the forensic analyst. Clinstone has a new serial killer, and he’s The Executioner.
