Hide and Seek
(2024)(The first book in the Wicked Game of a Serial Killer series)
A novel by Stan Hendriks
Lucas Izod is young, brilliant, and obscenely wealthy. He doesn’t grieve. He doesn’t regret. When something precious slips through his fingers, he begins a cold and calculated spree, mutilating and murdering innocent women. Each kill is methodical. Each victim a symbol. The Imperious Killer is born, and Lucas wears the name like a badge of honor.
Ray spent years hunting monsters like Lucas. He knows how they think. But this one moves differently—too precise, too theatrical, too clean. When the daughter of Ray’s closest friend is found brutalized, he returns to the hunt and teams up with Arthur, a high-functioning psychopath whose mind mirrors the killer’s.
Arthur doesn’t feel. He doesn’t flinch. He understands. Ray and Arthur form an alliance that shouldn't work, yet it might be the only way forward. One man driven by purpose. One by logic. Both drawn into Lucas’s deadly design.
He isn’t rehearsing. He’s building his legend. And he won’t stop until the world knows his name—and remembers it in blood.
Genre: Mystery
