Kirkus Discoveries

“The first installment in a projected series featuring Tampa police detective Elizabeth Wylde... The villain is the mysterious Ewan, introduced after a night of murder, a “practice” session for some kind of evil climax. While Ewan seems to be your standard-issue psychopath with delusions of godlike grandeur, he turns out to be much more troubling. Mourn spends some well-paced time introducing the other players, most notably troubled detective Wylde and her military counterpart, Nick Sanders. While Wylde is unaware of Ewan’s identity, the series of grisly murders have set Tampa on edge, and Wylde is suspicious of Nick’s assignment to the case, suspecting some kind of military cover-up. “Nothing can prepare the reader for the book’s sudden shift…as the author reveals Ewan’s origins”...her asides and observations on her Tampa setting are well-conceived and convey a genuine sense of place that... would serve as a good backdrop for a series.
A fun thriller...”

Product Description

The Westshore murders were a series of killings that will be remembered for years to come. A tragedy imposed upon Florida so grisly, it caused Floridians who were here in the seventies to recall the moment they first heard the name… Ted Bundy. Billy Vegas was the most fascinating homicidal maniac Detective Elizabeth Wylde had ever encountered. He was responsible for elevating Wylde’s notoriety to zenith status, well beyond the fame she had earned in the early days as the Bureau’s highly publicized golden girl, but at an enormous price. On the cusp of healing from the nightmare that has been her life after losing her family, the murders on the West Shore of Tampa begin again, as if the ghost of Billy Vegas had returned from beyond the grave to exact revenge for his execution. She quickly discovers that no spirit is responsible for the new murders; the truth is far worse than that. A new breed of serial killer has arrived in the Bay area in order to make his final stand. Project Dark Savior is the first book in a series that introduces Detective Elizabeth Wylde, Tampa Police Department’s finest contribution to Law Enforcement.
