«Wife of the Killer»
We all have an ex we regret. But the ex-husband of prosecutor Jessica Yardley — that's a real nightmare. He is the notorious serial killer Eddie Cal, who has been sitting in prison awaiting execution for fourteen years. It seemed that Jessica had managed to cope with the nightmares of the past — to regain her self-confidence, become a successful lawyer, and start a new happy life with her daughter… It seemed so until Eddie got a copycat who imitates his style. The killer brutally eliminates married couples, leaving their children alive.
The FBI asks Jessica to participate in the hunt for the maniac. And that means she must meet again and establish contact with her ex-husband — the man who literally shattered her life into pieces. Eddie Cal claims he knows who the killer is. But in exchange for his help, he sets two conditions that Jessica cannot agree to…
«Nocturnal Beasts»
Prosecutor Jessica Yardley, the ex-wife of serial killer The Dark Casanova, is about to retire. But before she does, she will finish an unexpectedly assigned case. A new maniac has begun a bloody hunt near Las Vegas. A fan of Sarpong, the mysterious African painter of the 60s, he meticulously copies his paintings filled with brutal violence in his murders. Art critics are baffled, not understanding what message Sarpong intended in his canvases. But the monster clearly sees some significance in them, and to catch him, one must understand what it is.
The most obvious solution is to consult the death row inmate The Dark Casanova, not only an expert on the psychology of psychopaths but also a man from the art world, an artist, and also a fan of Sarpong. But Yardley is not satisfied with this option. She must find the answer on her own before the killer creates another painting. The heroine of which could very well be Jessica herself…
«False Truth»
During their picnic, a killer appeared out of nowhere. He slit William's throat. He smashed Michael's head with a bat when he fell into a trap. April was tied up and thrown alive into the fire. Holly managed to escape but was caught. Faced with the choice — to fall into the hands of a maniac or jump off a cliff — she chose the latter. Miraculously, Holly survived. The killer dismembered the bodies of the victims and made a grotesquely obscene composition from them.
A rare case — he was immediately caught. Or was it him? Arlo Ward was literally drenched in the blood of the victims. He immediately took the blame. But it turned out to be not so simple. The psychiatrist's diagnosis is clear: a severe form of schizophrenia with hallucinations. And, most likely, Ward is innocent; he simply witnessed the murders and confessed because he is obsessed with an unhealthy thirst for public attention.
So who really committed this horror?
