Headhunter Reimagined (Special X #1)
HEADHUNTER Reimagined is an all-new telling of Michael Slade’s first Special X thriller (published in 1984) about the psycho-hunters of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
The Headhunter is loose on the streets of Vancouver.
The psycho’s victims are everywhere – floating in the Fraser River, buried in a shallow grave, nailed to a totem pole on the university campus. All are women. All are headless.
Then the taunting photographs arrive. Carefully posed shots of the women’s heads stuck on poles.
The Mounties of Special X are up against a unique brand of killer. A killer whose sexual psychosis stretches back through Ecuador’s steaming jungle and a scream-filled New Orleans dungeon to a dead-of-winter manhunt in the Rocky Mountains a century ago.
Hangman (Special X #8)
The game begins in Seattle, where a hanged woman is found with one leg missing. Then, in Vancouver, a corpse is found with both legs missing. The clue that binds these horrific crimes together is a game of "Hangman" crudely drawn at each location–painted in the victim’s blood.
The victims, it seems, were jurors on a controversial case years ago, in which a man was sentenced to death–by hanging. Two cops on both sides of the border–Canadian detective Zinc Chandler and American detective Maddy Thorne–are up against a killer whose every move means death. To stop him, they must solve the riddle of the hangman–before the madman makes his final, murderous move…and wins the game.
Bed Of Nails (Special X #10)
Isolated in the Riverside Insane Asylum is the Ripper. He believes he’s the notorious butcher who terrorized Whitechapel more than a century ago. In the black hole of his imagination he reenacts the crimes. In the darkness of his heart he still craves the thrill of the kill. Thank God he can’t escape. Unfortunately, in Riverside, there is no God…
Swastika (Special X #11)
Swastika and Aryan believe they are acting as cleansers of society-necessary evils to empower a new master race. But there’s still one secret about them no one knows. When an elite team of investigators is assigned to hunt them down, they stumble upon a terrifying government conspiracy-and a mystery buried in the ashes of World War II-era Germany.
Kamikaze (Special X #12)
He is a Kamikaze. His target: a survivor of the bomb crew that incinerated Hiroshima more than half a century ago.
She is an executioner. Her target: those responsible for her father’s murder during the fall of Hong Kong, 1941.
But they have something more frightening in common than revenge. It’s beyond belief. But believing in it is the only way to stop them.
Red Snow (Special X #14)
A raging winter storm and a team of mercenaries have cut Whistler Mountain off from the rest of the world. Bent on bloody revenge, Mephisto attacks the members of Special X—the psycho hunters of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police—and that’s just the start of his horrific plan. Red Snow is a three-ring circus of mystery, horror, and suspense. It has everything: whodunits and impossible crimes, psychological terror and police procedure. Let the games begin!
