Blue Wednesday

About the Book

Blue Wednesday is a suspense-thriller about a serial killer with a unique personality disorder, and Leslie Heidenreich, the senior ranking FBI profiler called in by local police to catch him.  Though initially labeled as disconnected robbery-homicides in Chicago, local detective Danny Kowalczyk recognizes a similarity in the smallest of inter-state crime scene details and contacts an old friend at the FBI for help. Its up to Heidenreich and her FBI team to build the killer’s personality profile and find the homicidal pattern before the body count increases.  Making an early connection to flight schedules across the U.S., Heidenreich discovers three suspects whose travel paths and common interest in Jazz/Blues, have accidentally crossed. Blue Wednesday describes the making of a not-so-random killer, and the search for the truth about his past. With a growing confidence in his ability to avoid capture, the killer believes that he can fabricate a new identity and a fresh start without any consequences to his deadly actions.  The killer´s aggressive side also softens after meeting a young woman with a similar troubled past.  Blue Wednesday mixes murder mystery with a cross country chase and an Internet investigation to bring the story to an unpredictable conclusion. Blended with humorous dialog and a touch of computer technology, Blue Wednesday is a casual and enjoyable read all the way through to its final pages.
