The Fourth Monkey

by J.D. Barker · 2017

Detective Sam Porter leads the 4MK task force, hunting the infamous Four Monkey Killer who has haunted Chicago for five years. When the killer’s body is finally recovered, a hidden diary and a box of severed ears reveal that his murderous spree isn’t over—he was on his way to deliver a final, chilling message that points to another victim still at large. As Porter delves into the psychopath’s twisted mind, he must untangle a dark childhood, a perverse philosophy of cutting ears, tongues, and eyes, and his own personal demons. Racing against time, Porter follows a trail of cryptic clues to locate the last girl before the killer’s legacy claims another life.
