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 jogger on the Boston Common. Dimase Augustin is in charge of the Cambridge side of the investigation and determines that the two deaths are connected, along with several other bizarre murders of young women.
On the MIT campus, a seemingly innocent undergrad is blurring moral lines beyond recognition. Because of one white lie, her friends— members of an innocent book club—start dropping like flies.
So begins a deadly game of cat and mouse, in which Dimase finds he is matching wits with a venerable 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 attempts to make a dramatic rescue.
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?”
