June
2017. New York is suffering under the worst heatwave in centuries, but it’s the
barrage of grisly murders that has city dwellers on edge. Since the homicides
don’t fit a pattern, the NYPD is treating them as unrelated, but Detective
Grace Jarrod isn’t so sure. Graffiti left at the crime scenes points to the
crimes being linked and part of a rampage.
The
delivery of a cryptogram to her precinct proves her theory correct. A group
calling themselves CREEPZ takes credit for the deaths and for the war they
wage. They promise not to stop until a societal revolution is achieved. Jarrod
leads the investigation and goes after the madmen that strike at will and profess
to kill for love. Little does she know that the group of homeless drifters is
led by a genius who believes himself God.

EXCERPT
PROLOGUE
“It’s the things right under your nose—
the things you don’t notice
—that get you killed.”
—
Detective Grace Jarrod, NYPD
The express train thundered down the subway tracks,
speeding past the commuters huddled on the platform. The breeze broke the solid
wall of heat, giving the crowd on the underground platform some relief from the
steam bath they were caught up in.
A sigh rippled through the human herd as they edged
away from the mechanical beast clearing the station. When the last car was
swallowed up by the darkness of the tunnel, they eased back into position and
anticipated the arrival of a local that would stop at the 72nd Street station.
In the commuters’ minds, getting home took
precedence over everything, even the colorful graffiti spray painted on the
tiled wall. If only they’d divined the signs right before their eyes, they
could have prevented a war.

AUTHOR Bio and
Links:
Ruth
Bainbridge was born in the idyllic, sleepy town of Ithaca, NY, and has been a
lover of mysteries for her entire life. Ever since a child, she’s consumed
detective stories at regular intervals, becoming enamored with all the
superstars of crime. She loved matching wits with Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple,
Thomas Pitt, Lord Peter Wimsey, Richard Jury and Edward X Delaney. In fact, she
was so inspired by their brilliance that she began trying to emulate her
writing idol's achievements by composing her own short stories. However, life
interfered with her plans of becoming the next hopeful to try a life of
crime--on paper at least. But the empty nest syndrome happened and gave her the
impetus to return to her first love--murder.
Her
works include: THE CURT SAVAGE MYSTERIES (a four-part series that should be
read in order); DEADSPEAK, a detective Twin Peaks; and ONLY ONE WILL FALL, the
first in THE NICK CROSS MYSTERIES. CREEPZ is her eighth published work. The
most intense read of the season, it’s a complex adrenaline rush that’s filled
with suspense.
