Doug Lamoreux Libri

In a sleepy, historical Iowa town, tourist season is in full swing, and the strangest serial killer the world has ever known is roaming at will. It begins with a house explosion, a severely burned man, and an unidentified female body. More victims follow, each bearing an identical wound and accompanied by eerie, musical ticking. When the lead homicide investigator goes missing, Police Sergeant Erin Vanderjagt is forced into the fray and a personal hell she never imagined. As the murders continue, what can Erin do, where can she go, how can she fight the horror... When the Tik-Tik sings?

It's nearly midnight when a curious snoop finds his neighbors dead. He gathers his wits and calls emergency services. Despite a thunderstorm, Sheriff's deputies, the Fire Department and an ambulance all respond quickly. But there's little they can do; the victims are long dead. The snoop invites the emergency workers inside, out of the rain, to await the arrival of the coroner and the funeral home staff. The lightning flashes... The thunder rolls... And the setting inspires the police, firefighters, and paramedics to pass the time by telling stories, both thrilling and chilling. And you are invited to join them. In Seven For The Slab, Rondo award nominee Doug Lamoreux spins seven eerie tales of terror and mystery into one bewitching brew.
