Creepz

GENRE: Suspense Thriller

BLURB:
June
2017. New York is suffering under the worst heatwave in centuries, but it’s the
barrage of grisly murders that has city dwellers on edge. Since the homicides
don’t fit a pattern, the NYPD is treating them as unrelated, but Detective
Grace Jarrod isn’t so sure. Graffiti left at the crime scenes points to the
crimes being linked and part of a rampage.
The
delivery of a cryptogram to her precinct proves her theory correct. A group
calling themselves CREEPZ takes credit for the deaths and for the war they
wage. They promise not to stop until a societal revolution is achieved. Jarrod
leads the investigation and goes after the madmen that strike at will and
profess to kill for love. Little does she know that the group of homeless drifters
is led by a genius who believes himself God.

EXCERPT TWO:
CHAPTER 1
The
summer started like a hellion on crack.
No
one was expecting it … no one was prepared. The mild spring weather had lulled
the denizens of the Big Apple into thinking it would always be that way. But
before they knew it, the fantasy was swallowed by a rapacious heat that
burrowed its way into the concrete and wouldn’t let go. And now? Now there was
heat. Overbearing, suffocating heat that came up from the bowels of hell and
melted the hardest of hearts, reducing them to sweat and then steam.
For
two weeks, the people suffered under the sun’s merciless rule, and the weather
forecaster’s oral fandango only promised more of the same. A burst of a
turbulent red sky at sunset turned that threat into a reality as New Yorkers
braced for another brutal repeat of today.
The
day dwindled into twilight as the light was snuffed out by a phantom’s hand. A
strong ocean breeze pushed the mugginess aside long enough to breathe. The
beleaguered New Yorkers were grateful to have survived and sought solace in the
blackness of the oasis offered. Apartment dwellers oozed into the streets in
droves—all to enjoy the cooler evening temperature crowned by a silver moon
tinged by the color of blood.
Da
da dum dum da da doo doo hey …
In
the horde of people, the strange little man humming a tune went unnoticed. The
crowd at 34th Street was enjoying itself too much to care about one more
drifter … one more oddball that New York seemed to attract.

AUTHOR BIO:
Ruth Bainbridge was
born in the idyllic, sleepy town of Ithaca, NY, and has been a lover of
mysteries for her entire life. Ever since a child, she’s consumed detective
stories at regular intervals, becoming enamored with all the superstars of
crime. She loved matching wits with Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Thomas Pitt,
Lord Peter Wimsey, Richard Jury and Edward X Delaney. In fact, she was so
inspired by their brilliance that she began trying to emulate her writing
idol's achievements by composing her own short stories. However, life
interfered with her plans of becoming the next hopeful to try a life of
crime--on paper at least. But the empty nest syndrome happened and gave her the
impetus to return to her first love--murder.
Her
works include: THE CURT SAVAGE MYSTERIES (a four-part series that should be
read in order); DEADSPEAK, a detective Twin Peaks; and ONLY ONE WILL FALL, the
first in THE NICK CROSS MYSTERIES. CREEPZ is her eighth published work. The
most intense read of the season, it’s a complex adrenaline rush that’s filled
with suspense.
