The Scarecrow (Detective Jason Smith #18) by Stewart Giles

How do you stop a psychopathic killer when they're always one step ahead of you?

A new kind of murderer has caught the attention of the people of York. His attention is focused on the low-lifes and the bottom-feeders of society.

He calls himself The Scarecrow.

The citizens of York are calling him a hero - a killer ridding society of the undesirables, but Detective Jason Smith can't accept this.

And when he finds himself first on the scene of this maniac's first horrific murder, and sees for himself what this self-proclaimed deterrent to crime is capable of, he takes it upon himself to stop The Scarecrow at any cost.

But as the brutal murders continue, Smith finds himself wondering if this is a fight he can actually win.

The Scarecrow refuses to be stopped.

Is this the first killer Smith is unable to beat?
What readers are saying about The Scarecrow
Classic Stewart Giles, an engrossing fast paced murder mystery. This is no ordinary killer. We have a dead man dressed as a scarecrow and a fake police officer! The interesting saga/drama of Smith's personal life continues. I enjoyed the vivid descriptions of the crime scenes. Read it in one sitting and loved it!. – Carol
Every riveting chapter keeps you on the edge of your seat. Intense turmoil develops as surprising information comes to light leading to a shocking conclusion. THE SCARECROW IS A MUST READ!.Eileen
It is a very easy to read book with a few red herrings and I really enjoyed it. The characters are easy to like too and it is great to have a bit of the family life of Jason and Erica as well. Would recommend it. - Maureen
