The Surreal Killer Jerold Last

A serial killer is leaving a trail of dead women across Chile, Peru, and Bolivia. The gruesome corpses all seem to have died in exactly the same macabre way. There may be a link to a small group of scientists who meet annually in different locations in the region. Roger Bowman and Suzanne Foster are asked by the local police to attend this year's meeting of the group in Lima, Peru to try to find out who was present at the previous meetings when the murders occurred. And the reader is off on a fast paced pursuit of the killer through Lima, Cuzco, and Machu Picchu in Peru and Chile's Atacama Desert. The Surreal Killer is a gripping story that seamlessly mixes the genres of whodunit thriller and travel to introduce the reader to the regional culture and history of the Incas while a mysterious modern-day murderer proves that we reap what we sow. The fact-based plot blends murder, intrigue, and the 20th Century history of Chile with the genesis of a serial killer. This psychological thriller takes us deep into the mind of a serial killer as the suspense mounts to a shocking conclusion. This is a true whodunit mystery novel set in an unusual and exotic locale.
