Murder School
Present-day Hunger Games meets The Talented ‘Miss’ Ripley, with a dose of Law & Order.
A convicted ex-cop who has lost everything. A rogue female detective desperate to save her city. An agoraphobic computer genius who hunts monsters for a living. And a brilliant forensic pathologist who is deadly with a scalpel. Four unlikely heroes are thrown together to hunt down and save New York from a group of murderous super-villains’ intent on killing as many people as possible.
Catching killers is nothing new for Homicide Detective, Eve Sommers—until she begins to see a disturbing pattern emerge in a series of seemingly random murders at famous New York City landmarks. Teaming up with her friend, Dr. Maya Zin, a brilliant forensic pathologist, Eve soon discovers that a group of Ivy League college students are playing a deadly game to commit the most audacious, most public murders they can. Eve will stop at nothing to protect her city and catch the killers, even if it means ending up on their ‘Murder Bucket List’.
Two years ago, NYPD cop Thomas Birch was sent to prison by his own colleagues for a crime he didn’t commit. Now out, Birch struggles to find any meaning in his life—that is until Francis Latimer, a reclusive billionaire offers him one last chance at redemption. In exchange for irrefutable evidence of his innocence, Birch must first find Latimer’s missing daughter, Lindsay. But tracking down Lindsay Latimer will be no easy task, when he discovers she is running with the same killers the police are now hunting.
Pitted against each other, corrupt forces within their own police department, and a group of murderous super-villains terrorizing the city, Eve and Birch race to find Lindsay Latimer, and uncover the truth. Is she really the perfect daughter everyone thinks? Or is she something truly evil?
