From the East coast to the West coast the NY Slasher carved his murderous spree on thirty women, and then just disappeared.

Derek Harcourt wrote about the Slasher's crimes in his first book. Now writing a second book, Harcourt has ulterior motives for this novel and is following the Slasher's journey all the way from New York to Washington state.

Sarah Keller is Harcourt's editor and the victim of horrible crimes in her past and maybe her future. Will there be more murders when Harcourt and Keller finally meet?

Could an author hate an editor so much that he would want to murder her?

A thriller about stalking a victim across the country and a serial killer bent on making his last murder his ultimate goal, the person he hates the most.

Detroit area resident, Bob Moats, has been writing short stories and plays for as long as he can remember. He has lost most of his original stories, typed or handwritten, in the numerous moves he has made from his hometown of Fraser, Michigan to Northern Michigan, to Las Vegas and back to Fraser, where he now lives. He also wrote the short fantasy novella "Crystal Prison of Kyr" and is a published playwright with his three act comedy "Happily Ever After".

Moats became one of the causalities of unemployment early in 2009, and had time on his hands to finally pursue a life long dream of writing a full blown crime novel. Thus was born the first book, "Classmate Murders".

What followed was a series of twenty murder novels starting with "Classmate Murders" which introduces the main character, Jim Richards, who has to admit he has become a senior citizen, reluctantly. Richards, one day, receives an email from a childhood sweetheart asking for his help, but by the time he reaches her, she has been murdered. His life turns around and he is pulled into numerous murders of women from his high school who he hasn't seen in forty years. Along with a friend of his, Buck, a big, mustached biker, they go off to track down the killer before he can get to one former classmate, Penny Wickens, a TV talk show host who Jim has fallen for while protecting her. The killer is also murdering the women right out from under police protection, driving homicide detective Will Trapper crazy, and he slowly depends on Jim to help.

There's humor, suspense, wild chases across suburban Detroit with cops, classic cars and motorcycle clubs; murder, mayhem, a good amount of romance and a twist ending.
