PARTS UNKNOWN

Book 1 of the Chris Lyon Series

Depression-era Cleveland: A city terrorized by the “Torso-Slayer” or “Headhunter,” a serial killer who littered the northeastern U.S. with severed heads and limbs; a murderer fruitlessly pursued by legendary “Untouchable” Eliot Ness. The Torso Slayer was a pr ankish fiend whose murder spree likely extended into the late-1950s and perhaps decades beyond. 1989: A new cycle of torso slayings attributed to the “Occam Butcher” commences and sets Chris Lyon and retired Cleveland police detective James Hanrahan down a dark and bloody path that will change both men's lives forever. Parts Unknown launches the Chris Lyon series with a deeply researched thriller turning on real events, effectively binding the themes and sensibilities of the Chris Lyon and Hector Lassiter series into a larger, richer epic.
