Serial Rites (X-Men Homicide Squad #3) by Cortez Law III


Book Description...

"Atlanta Homicide Sergeant Malcolm Hobbs’ strength: Acute intuition into human nature. His weakness: Loss of faith in God. Despite his immense ability, he’s on the edge and contemplates quitting. The mystery of Hobbs is his sanity. Will his spirit and soul unite in time to resolve his trauma or will they divide too late to stop him from experiencing the peace of God as they rage a life or die war?

In the psychological thriller, SERIAL RITES, a prequel to KREMLIN TIDE (2014) and COLD LICK (2015), Hobbs’ detective skills encounter one of the most compelling cases in his career, but there’s a big problem. A precarious Hobbs isn’t at full strength and he’s breaking in a new Detective to his team in former Columbus, Ohio hotshot, Shepard Cush.

When Hobbs and his elite team of investigators nicknamed, The X-Men, discover the catalyst to the murders, they must decipher the puzzling schematic from the cold heart of a psychopath known as, The Profiler.

Atlanta’s confidence in the high-profile detectives is on trial against this meticulous and motivated predator with a macabre M.O. The question is will The Profiler’s blood-lustful vision satisfy him enough not to include The X-Men themselves?"

"Series Rites" by Cortez Law III

My Thoughts...

I will say this...I enjoyed this story. I did have to get into the story a little bit to completely understand what all was going on and it was worth it. The author did a well deserved praise for giving the reader a story that was quite a mix of emotional craziness and believe it or not by adding a religious element to it all. Believe me when I say it all comes together in the end, yes all of the scriptures! It was really something seeing how after such a loss one can only with the help from above be able to conquer all that Sergeant Malcolm Hobbs had gone through in order to get to that point of believing in the 'Serenity Prayer.'

After what had happened in Hobbs's life he is now 'breaking in a new detective to his team while deciphering the puzzling schematic from the cold heart of a psychopath known as The Profiler.' The characters in this story were off the chain from [Malcolm, Lynette, Pepper, Orlando, Shepard, Gerald Royale IV, Selena, Ernest Brown & Becker] to name a few being so well developed, portrayed and oh so believable only keeping the reader turning the pages to the end. The author gives the reader quite a read where you get a little bit of it all from scripture quotes, music references to some humorous moments. The most important point is will 'The X-Men' team be able to take down this psychopath known as 'The Profiler who has caused so much havoc in Atlanta, Georgia? Well, to see how it all is solved you will have to pick up "Serial Rites" to see how well this author brings it all out to the reader. I liked at the end of the read the author gives the reader some interesting questions that focus so well with the story. Would I recommend? YES!
