Creepz
by Ruth Bainbridge
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Suspense Thriller
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
June 2017. New York
is suffering under the worst heatwave in centuries, but it’s the barrage of
grisly murders that has city dwellers on edge. Since the homicides don’t fit a
pattern, the NYPD is treating them as unrelated, but Detective Grace Jarrod
isn’t so sure. Graffiti left at the crime scenes points to the crimes being
linked and part of a rampage.
The delivery of a
cryptogram to her precinct proves her theory correct. A group calling
themselves CREEPZ takes credit for the deaths and for the war they wage. They
promise not to stop until a societal revolution is achieved. Jarrod leads the
investigation and goes after the madmen that strike at will and profess to kill
for love. Little does she know that the group of homeless drifters is led by a
genius who believes himself God.

Excerpt One:
PROLOGUE
“It’s the things right under your nose—
the things you don’t notice
—that get you killed.”
— Detective Grace
Jarrod, NYPD
The express train thundered down the subway tracks, speeding
past the commuters huddled on the platform. The breeze broke the solid wall of
heat, giving the crowd on the underground platform some relief from the steam
bath they were caught up in.
A sigh rippled through the human herd as they edged away
from the mechanical beast clearing the station. When the last car was swallowed
up by the darkness of the tunnel, they eased back into position and anticipated
the arrival of a local that would stop at the 72nd Street station.
In the commuters’ minds, getting home took precedence over
everything, even the colorful graffiti spray painted on the tiled wall. If only
they’d divined the signs right before their eyes, they could have prevented a
war.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Ruth
Bainbridge was born in the idyllic, sleepy town of Ithaca, NY, and has been a
lover of mysteries for her entire life. Ever since a child, she’s consumed
detective stories at regular intervals, becoming enamored with all the
superstars of crime. She loved matching wits with Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple,
Thomas Pitt, Lord Peter Wimsey, Richard Jury and Edward X Delaney. In fact, she
was so inspired by their brilliance that she began trying to emulate her
writing idol's achievements by composing her own short stories. However, life
interfered with her plans of becoming the next hopeful to try a life of
crime--on paper at least. But the empty nest syndrome happened and gave her the
impetus to return to her first love--murder.
Her works
include: THE CURT SAVAGE MYSTERIES (a four-part series that should be read in
order); DEADSPEAK, a detective Twin Peaks; and ONLY ONE WILL FALL, the first in
THE NICK CROSS MYSTERIES. CREEPZ is her eighth published work. The most intense
read of the season, it’s a complex adrenaline rush that’s filled with suspense.
