M IS FOR MURDER
What makes a murderer? Is it nature or nurture? In a recent documentary "Making a Murderer" the producers failed to answer that question, but they made us consider the issue. On what side of the coin did you place your bet?
In Murder & Obsession, there are several killers with differing motives. Jake Martin is an assassin that comes from a good family that's very popular in his home town of Nome. Outside of Nome, though, he's known for his criminal activity. Just call Jake with a request, deposit the money into his account, and he's on the job.
So what motivates Jake? Ego? Money? Or need?
In my story, it's all three just as in reality where murder happens for several reasons. If you're considering a novel that features a serial killer and you need to know more for accuracy try googling FBI sites - they are loaded with valuable information!
5 Myths about Serial Killers and Why They Persist [Excerpt]
Murder & Obsession
Excerpt:
Losing patience, Steven took out
his own knife, a nine-and-a-half-inch Bowie. “I have a collection of knives
too. This is my favorite. I used this knife to slit a bear’s throat. Would you
like a demonstration?”
“Depends, Detective.” Martin
smiled. “You’re looking mighty weak, you sure you can handle a knife that big?”
Steven exploded out of his chair
and knocked Martin out of his. He’d removed his arm from the sling, so he’d
have access to his hand. “Why does everyone think I don’t have the energy to
take them straight to Hell?” Steven sat on Martin’s back, his knife against
Martin’s throat, cutting the skin. He pressed Martin’s face into the floor with
his broken left arm. The action broke away some of the plaster cast, but
despite the pain he held Jake in place. “Would you like me to show you what my
real intentions are?”
Martin didn’t move. He barely took
a breath. “I’ll talk,” he croaked.
