Return of the Chatterbox Killer: A Fortune & Fernandez Serial Killer Thriller (Book IV)
By Ian Patterson
He’s back—and the stakes couldn’t be higher!
In the heart-pounding fourth installment of the Fortune & Fernandez series, Detective Dexter Fortune faces his darkest nightmare yet: the return of the sadistic Chatterbox Killer. From the gritty streets of Staten Island to the desolate shores of Elk Lake, this relentless serial killer thriller delivers a rollercoaster of suspense, betrayal, and shocking twists that will leave you breathless.
When Dexter Fortune, a disgraced NYPD detective exiled to the 122nd Precinct, is called to the scene of a brutal murder, the hallmarks of the Chatterbox Killer—three colored hearts marked on the victim’s chest—resurface, igniting a chilling sense of déjà vu. Is this a copycat, or has Simon Purcell, the cunning psychopath who once eluded him, returned to torment New York City? As Dexter digs deeper, the body count rises, and the trail leads to a personal reckoning he never saw coming.
Meanwhile, Dexter’s former partner, Gabriella Fernandez, battles her own demons. Pregnant with a dead man’s child, Gabby’s world unravels when the Chatterbox Killer strikes closer than ever, snatching her newborn daughter, Angelina, in a brazen act of vengeance. With time running out, Dexter, Gabby, and Canadian Inspector Siobhan Penney form an uneasy alliance, racing against the clock to a deadly showdown at Otter Lodge—a place haunted by past sins and shattered promises.
As flames engulf the cabin and loyalties are tested, Dexter confronts a horrifying truth: to save Angelina, he may have to sacrifice everything—his career, his freedom, even his life. But in a game of cat and mouse with a killer who thrives on chaos, can Dexter outsmart the Chatterbox before it’s too late? And will Gabby forgive the man whose obsession brought this nightmare to her door?
"Return of the Chatterbox Killer" is a gripping tale of murder, redemption, and the unbreakable bond between partners. Ian Patterson weaves a masterful narrative, blending raw emotion, relentless action, and a cast of flawed, unforgettable characters. Perfect for fans of James Patterson, Karin Slaughter, and dark, psychological thrillers, this book will keep you guessing until the final, explosive page.
