It takes a true artist to pursue his victims in the art of seduction, and Stowy Jenkins is no exception, especially with blood as his medium.Blurb:Stowy Jenkins, aka, Stone, and as Alaskans refer to him, the Snowman, is a true artist. His muse, Gigi, is the ultimate inspiration for his painting. Her rejection inspires him to use a very unusual medium…blood.While art may be his passion, the taste for blood is his obsession, and multiple murders, the result.Rookie, Detective Steven Quaid, is no fan of the Snowman’s murderous exhibitions. A twisted and deadly relationship bond the two men and neither knows who will come out of it alive.Excerpt:Dark crimson fluid flowed into the bucket under the table. Death accepted Stone’s masterpiece with open arms.The staccato clicks of Stone's trusty Nikon punctuated Maggy’s last moments.*****Little by little, he added the formaldehyde to the viscous mixture, stirring it vigorously. Dipping his brush into its freshness, he began painting. Swirls, splattered droplets, and elongated dribbles soon filled the canvas. Waves of joy rose up from his deepest being, and a sense of satisfaction overwhelmed him. This creation will be my best. The addition of formaldehyde will keep the red as vibrant as the fountain of blood gushing from my Maggie May.A maniacal laugh broke the silence. “Rouge d’Amour will be the star of my masterpiece! It will leave art lovers and critics breathless.”

Review

Reviewed by Anne-Marie Reynolds for Readers' FavoriteThe Snowman: The Prequel to the Detective Quaid Mysteries by Yolanda Renee answered many questions. I have read all of the Quaid mystery stories and this one filled in a lot of the gaps about his early years. However, it can be read on its own, although I would highly recommend reading it as part of the series. Excellent story, really well-written and truly gripping. Ms. Renee certainly knows how to describe a scene to the extent that you believe it to be real. Compared to the rest of the series, this is a very dark book, somewhat gruesome, but a fantastic read. The development of the plot and the characters were second to none, and I would recommend this to anyone who likes a macabre, bloody thriller - this one meets all the criteria!

From the Author

Please note this story has explicit sex, violence, and language, and is not recommended for anyone under the age of 18.

The Snowman takes place ten years prior to the first book in the Detective Quaid Series, Murder, Madness & Love. The Snowman is Steven Quaid's first case after he makes Detective for the Anchorage Police Department.

This case was mentioned in the first two books of the series, and it only made sense to highlight that case with its own story.
