Serial Killer's Sister: A Shattering Family Saga
By Thomas Badtke
Five women have succumbed to a serial killer's murderous spree, and a sixth, Anna, may meet the same fate. The killer's modus operandi involves marking his victims with a needle in one eye – a chilling reminder of a childhood game shared by Anna and her brother Henry.
Anna, then ten, shared a troubled existence with her younger brother. Their father was unknown, their mother an alcoholic, and their current partner abusive. The siblings ended up in a childcare home.
Nearly two decades later, Anna has built a stable life for herself – a loving marriage, a home by the sea, and a teaching position at a private school. Unaware of her brother's whereabouts, their paths had long diverged. But fate has a way of catching up. Detective Inspector Walker is on the trail of a serial killer, and suspicion falls on Henry, Anna's brother. A new murder is imminent – on Anna's birthday.

Anna, absorbed in the novels that offered an escape from her turbulent life, found it hard to focus on the looming danger. The Commission had yet to adopt a proposal for a directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to chemical substances, but her mind was far from such mundane matters.
In the evenings, she would sit on the balcony of her home by the sea, Lost in Thoughts: A Collection of Crime and Psychology Books, opened before her, the soothing sounds of the waves crashing against the shore serving as her only entertainment.
