The world of serial maniacs is psychological trauma in childhood, a broken psyche, terrible thoughts, and horrifying deeds. That is exactly what Blake Pierce writes about in his detective stories. A special feature of his books is that the investigations are taken on by girls.
The book “Before He Kills” describes a dreadful story that happened in the U.S. state of Nebraska. There, in a field, they find a dead girl tied to a post. Only a crazed person could do something like that. New murders don’t keep waiting, so the police concluded that a real serial maniac is operating here. Moreover, each of his further acts becomes more sophisticated and more cruel. Reading can sometimes be difficult and frightening, but the book lacks bloody and very violent scenes—which will certainly delight sensitive people.
The case is taken up by Mackenzie White. Her brilliant mind helps uncover cases that have reached a dead end. She can give the “old hands” a run for their money—detectives who couldn’t solve complicated crimes. But even Mackenzie got genuinely lost in Nebraska—she and her colleagues have never encountered such cruelty.
As she plunges into the maniac’s world and climbs into his subconscious, Mackenzie realizes that real evil exists. She needs to get everything figured out as quickly as possible—and to do it before the moment when the psycho reaches her.
At the same time, Blake Pierce runs another plot line: he tells about Mackenzie’s life. The girl in the past herself destroyed her own life with her own hands and lost her closest people. Now she’s trying to fix everything, put personal relationships in order, and ultimately fall in love. But with such a profession it’s hard to be distracted by something truly kind and good.
As strange as it may sound, the book “Before He Kills” makes you think about the nature of the human psyche—how fragile it is. People don’t just start killing for no reason—there are logical explanations, and Mackenzie digs into them in order, in the end, to catch the criminal.
