The Dimase Augustin Thriller Series
Documenting the rise of homicide detective Dimase Augustin. From the City of Cambridge to the Executive Branch.
Book One.
This story opens with the mysterious murder of a young woman in an apartment building in Cambridge, followed by the second murder of an early-morning, Black, female jogger on the Boston Common. Dimase is in charge of the Cambridge side of the investigation and eventually determines that the two deaths are connected, along with several other bizarre murders of young women. In a clever game of cat and mouse, Dimase finds that he is matching wits with an MIT professor who has gone off the rails as a serial killer. It is a race against time to unravel clues and save the remaining targets of Dr. Hans Berger as Dimase finally figures out the motive and makes a dramatic rescue while bringing the notorious Phantom Professor to justice.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“A perfectly plotted mystery that focuses on the fascinating world of biotechnology.”
“It's an interesting twist on the good-versus-evil moral universe of the average thriller—one that readers are sure to enjoy.”
“What makes these books unique, is that the story is a mechanism that allows the reader to think about contemporary issues... For example, is it okay to bend the truth for what you perceive to be the greater good, and if so -- who judges? Who decides what is the greater good? Who decides if your judgment is correct, and what about the unintended consequences?”
