Violent Crimes: The Butcher of Westchester
When 18-year-old Evelyn Armstrong is found brutalized in the woods outside the insular Upstate enclave of Bronxville, a community's carefully maintained facade begins to crumble. FBI profiler James Prince arrives in Bronxville from Manhattan carrying his own wreckage: a marriage destroyed by obsession, a career built on proximity to evil, and the growing suspicion that he may not be much better than those of which he hunts.
Working from a decaying motel, Prince follows a thread of evidence that seems designed specifically for him-clues that reference his past cases, taunts carved into flesh, messages from a killer who understands him with unsettling intimacy. Meanwhile, Richard Armstrong, decorated Navy SEAL and grieving father, vanishes from public view. What emerges in his place moves through the manicured streets of Bronxville with lethal purpose, methodically erasing anyone who might have been involved.
As winter tightens its grip and the body count rises, Prince and Armstrong find themselves converging on a truth neither wants to face: that some reckonings transcend law and order, that evil often wears familiar faces, and that the line between hunter and hunted dissolves when you stare too long into the abyss. A gothic meditation on violence, grief, and the cost of seeking monsters, Violent Crimes established Jack Chase as a sharp new voice in American literary crime fiction, one unafraid to examine the darkness that lives in the space between justice and revenge.????????????????
