About this ebook

Tampa Homicide Lieutenant Carl Kane has a tough job. His day to day consists of decomposing dead bodies and removing murderers from the general public. But, when two women’s bodies are found under similar circumstances, it quickly turns into more than your average case. The killer is clearly looking to make a name for himself, and his plans for these women go far beyond death.

When the media runs with the story, the killer’s moment in the spotlight arrives.

It’s up to Lieutenant Kane to bring the man the press has dubbed the ‘Psycho Surgeon’ to justice. Yet, being the lead on the case has its drawbacks—like becoming the focus of the killer yourself.

As Lieutenant Kane closes in on his suspect, he soon realizes that the case has become far more personal than he could have ever imagined.

Ratings and reviews

Lieutenant Kane does it again . As a full story I thoroughly enjoyed this one really found it hard to put down. I love the broody character and his determination. He is a character who has sex appeal and you're always rooting for him. I only gave it a 4 because it would be good to see what goes on in the head of the criminal. But I enjoyed reading. Can't wait to read the rest.

The author has deftly captured the gritty determination of a hardened cop in his battle with a relentless serial killer. The fast-paced action and straightforward scene descriptions made this a hard-hitting police procedural. I stayed up and read till 3am, because I really wanted to know what happened to the innocent victims in this story! Part of the final outcome seemed unrealistic, and for this reason, I gave the book 4/5 stars.

Original storyline, well developed, interesting characters, Good pacing and a solid, satisfying ending. I'll be reading more by this author. I recommend that You give his work a try too,

About the author

A native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, E.H. Reinhard spent ten years in retail management before venturing into the acquisitions of viral humor websites in 2009. At their peak, his core group of owned websites generated 30+ million unique visitors a month. As the websites grew, the time involved to maintain, promote, and add fresh content to them began to take its toll. It was time to sell.

With new-found time on his hands, Reinhard freelanced in blogging and content writing until he took it upon himself to try something more personally rewarding and increasingly more challenging—writing fiction.

As a fan of mystery, thrillers, and crime fiction, Reinhard hatched the idea of the Lieutenant Kane series of police procedural novels. The story arc focuses on the life, on and off duty, of a fictional Tampa Police Homicide Lieutenant, Carl Kane.

While the series was originally planned to take place in Milwaukee, an opportunity to relocate to the Tampa Bay area arose for Reinhard. As he took the plunge and moved to the “Sunshine State”, so did his main character.

When not writing, Reinhard is an avid fisherman. He can be found during the magic hour on a canoe, flats boat, or just pitching from shore.
