Razor Sharp
(2015)(The sixth book in the Embryo: A Raney & Levine Thriller series)
A novel by J A Schneider
A Jack the Ripper type killer is murdering male prostitutes, with one exception...
A young woman is found brutally attacked with a straight razor, her cruel facial mutilation the only link to three other horrific murders: a transgender woman, a transvestite, and a 17-year-old hustler. So nasty are the kills of those three born-males that the psychopath seems to be saying, they're all males...
FROM HELL he scrawls, taunting the NYPD with the words written in 1888 to the police by the original Jack the Ripper. The cops are sickened and at a loss: this killer is too cunning, wears gloves and disguises, leaves no physical evidence, and kills again.
Just one small favor, the police ask physicians Jill Raney and David Levine, friends and - until now, detectives on their own. "No warrant? No problem!" had been their mantra...until their relationship with the cops got crazy; led to exhaustion and conflict.
But they share the horror that grips the country and agree to help, thus plunging into a terrifying maze of psycho-sexual obsession and madness.
Complicating matters further is their adopted little son Jesse, dubbed "the miracle baby" by the media, now a sweet little chatterbox showing signs that he may have yet another special gift that Jill and David are only beginning to recognize...
