About this ebook
Scott Drayco had everything going for him: handsome, brilliant, a talented classical pianist. After violence scarred him physically and emotionally, he turned to an FBI career and now freelances as a crime consultant, taking on cases other people often don't want to touch. From a suspected serial killer who plays mind games with Drayco, to murder and revenge at 20,000 feet, these eight stories delve into the darkest mysteries of the human soul.
