Fatal Philosophy
There is a serial killer on the loose in Dallas, Texas. Dr. David S. Alkek’s novel, Fatal Philosophy, delves into the thoughts of the perpetrator as he moves from one victim to the other. As Jason Colbert, the detective in charge of solving this crime and Doris Goodman, a psychologist follow the clues by decoding a cryptic message they believe is the key to solving the crime. Their investigation leads them to the Philosophy Club which has a lot to lose unless the killer is found.
The reader follows the murderer's thoughts and twisted philosophy as he commits one murder after another. The investigators also take a philosophical look at their own lives and come up with some interesting conclusions.
Jason and Doris work to put the pieces of the puzzle together in the same way as detectives in most novels. It is the pieces to the puzzle as well as philosophical thinking by the murderer and the detectives that lead to the conclusion. Will the murderer make a mistake?
“… Jason remained alone in the conference room, thinking about what they had. A pattern of murders and one step ahead of them, a shadow, a murderer, who leaves no clues except a message, the names of dead philosophers written in blood. The scenario was like a fiction in which fantasy and reality merged, but the plot had to be dissected until image and reality separated.”
