The seeds of a killer are sown as Billy Bonner suffers torture at the hands of his father and two older brothers on the family farm in Iowa. He commits his first two acts of murder when he is just twelve years old, and he spends the rest of his life avenging the abuse his family perpetrated on him. Forty-two-year-old Nick Powers, a seventeen-year veteran of the New York City Police Department, is assigned to investigate a special case. A serial killer is on the loose in New York City. Targeting victims over the age of sixty, this murderer disguises himself as a charming deliveryman, policeman, or priest. After gaining entrance to the victims homes, he hangs the women by their ankles while they bleed to death, and then he removes their eyes. The notes left at the scenes read: She should have seen. Powers vows to catch this diabolical killer who has successfully eluded twenty police departments for twenty years. But the chase becomes personal when the killer contacts Powers and threatens to harm his family

Book Description
Nick Powers gave up a career in law enforcement at the behest of his wife, Caroline, after his hunt for serial killer Billy Bonner almost cost him his marriage. Six months later, however, when he gets a telegram from Canadian authorities asking for his help in an investigation, he jumps at the chance. A serial killer is loose up north, and the similarities are hard to ignore. Is Bonner back? If so, who better to stop him than the cop who hunted him in New York? Nick's obsession with the job soon earns him a divorce. Along with his buddy Pete Dawson, he opens a private detective agency in Manhattan. Business is good. Nick almost forgets all about Bonner until he and Dawson are summoned to Los Angeles, where Bonner is suspected to have struck again. His body count is into the hundreds; this monster must be stopped. As the investigation heats up, Bonner makes things personal. He involves a member of Nick's family, and now Nick is out for blood. Despite this killer's intellect and elusiveness, Nick and Dawson will stop at nothing to bring a murderer to justice. The closer Nick gets to Bonner, though, the more his emotions take over; Nick may soon take the law into his own hands.

Book Description
The shocking history of the espionage and infiltration of American media during WWI and the man who exposed it. A man who was not who he claimed to be... Russia was not the first foreign power to subvert American popular opinion from inside. In the lead-up to America’s entry into the First World War, Germany spent the modern equivalent of one billion dollars to infiltrate American media, industry, and government to undermine the supply chain of the Allied forces. If not for the ceaseless activity of John Revelstoke Rathom, editor of the scrappy Providence Journal, America may have remained committed to its position of neutrality. But Rathom emerged to galvanize American will, contributing to the conditions necessary for President Wilson to request a Declaration of War from Congress—all the while exposing sensational spy plots and getting German diplomats expelled from the U.S. And yet John Rathom was not even his real name. His swashbuckling biography was outrageous fiction. And his many acts of journalistic heroism, which he recounted to rapt audiences on nationwide speaking tours, never happened. Who then was this great, beloved, and ultimately tragic imposter? In The Imposter’s War, Mark Arsenault unearths the truth about Rathom’s origins and revisits a surreal and too-little-known passage in American history that reverberates today. The story of John Rathom encompasses the propaganda battle that set America on a course for war. He rose within the editorial ranks, surviving romantic scandals and combative rivals, eventually transitioning from an editor to a de facto spy. He brought to light the Huerta plot (in which Germany tied to push the United States and Mexico into a war) and helped to upend labor strikes organized by German agents to shut down American industry. Rathom was eventually brought low by an up-and-coming political star by the name of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Arsenault tracks the rise and fall of this enigmatic figure, while providing the rich and fascinating context of Germany’s acts of subterfuge through the early years of World War I. The Imposter's War is a riveting and spellbinding narrative of a flawed newsman who nevertheless changed the course of history.
