Detective Arquette Jackson was a middle-aged African American awaiting retirement. He has enjoyed a glorious carrier and was looking forward to blissful post cop life. However, things took a nasty turn when gruesome murders took place in Annapolis. Detective Arquette was assigned to unravel the mystery surrounding it—gut-wrenching butchering that left zero clue by the serial killer! The Chief of police was counting on him and his reputation was on the line.
Karman had spent the last eight years at the Miracle Care Psychiatric, a heavily guarded facility for the mentally sick. The idea that the frail-looking woman, who happens to be only 5.5’’ tall and under full surveillance could be behind the serial murders was simply illogical. Could there be a supernatural force leaving these trails of blood? None of them seemed rational. However, the residents of Annapolis needed answers, so do the police chief and everyone else. They’re all looking up to Arquette as he struggled with the most challenging case in his entire career.
Karman is a thrilling and suspenseful story that will keep readers curious while wondering how it’s going to end.
