"Variety is the spice of death" is the motto of William Ripp, a prolific
serial killer. With more than twenty bodies buried all over the United
States, Ripp considers himself to be the premier serial killer of all
time because not only is he still free, killing on a whim, but his
obsession as of yet has gone undetected. Ripp stumbles into the
Midwestern city of La Claire, Wisconsin. As he is about to claim his
twenty-third victim, he is thwarted suddenly and unexpectedly by Officer
Dan McCarthy. Ripp watches in amazement as the potential victim is
rescued from his clutches. This close call excites Ripp, and like a moth
to the flame, he is drawn to La Claire by the thrill of a challenge as
well as the sultry beauty of an exotic dancer. Can she escape his evil
desires? This novel is a realistic, action-packed, can't-put-it-down
police thriller. Officers Dave Compton, Dan McCarthy, Gary Carpenter,
Madison Brown, Dooley, Randy Stammos and the incorrigible Stanley
Brockman are "Nobody's Heroes." The best of the best are on a collision
course with evil incarnate. Lives are at stake and the outcome undecided
as the epic struggle continues between good and evil. Where is the place
of battle? La Claire, Wisconsin. When? On Compton's Shift.
