Bleeder

A boozed up DETECTIVE and a beaten down BOXER; a cold serial KILLER and a sultry femme FATALE. Just pawns in a SINISTER game. Discover what EVIL lurks just beneath the slippery thick skin of the City of Sin in Bleeder, a THRILLING neo-noir novel by David Rex Bonnewell! In the SEEDY Get Lucky motel off the beaten path of Nevada's city of socially acceptable SIN, Las Vegas, a carefully planned and executed MURDER has taken place, the brain of the victim removed with surgical precision. This GRUESOME murder is the ninth such grisly act perpetrated by the NOTORIOUS serial killer known only as The Vegas Reaper! He – or she – is a slippery eel, covering his or her tracks so well that not a single shred of workable evidence has yet to be linked to the killer's whereabouts or true identity. Up and down the strip, The Vegas Reaper (demented harvester of a different vital internal organ from each of his fresh VICTIMS) has struck and the city is clamoring for JUSTICE. Despite the best efforts of a determined Detective Stephen Lyles, however, the Las Vegas Metro PD has reached a DEAD end in the case.Meanwhile, a single slip-up as a result of POWERFUL mind control has caused professional prize fighter Sammy “The Hammer” Hallander to lose the fight of his career in Las Vegas' renowned Mandalay Bay arena, but that is just the beginning of his BREAKNECK downfall. He may well lose the fight of his LIFE as well! Alcohol, gambling and bouts of terrible RAGE have taken much from the proud and repentant WARRIOR, including his formidable years in the four-cornered ring. Now he must relive deeply buried and TROUBLING memories while fighting DEMONS both real and imagined in order to uncover the MURDEROUS truth of his childhood past, all for the sake of something far greater than he could have ever imagined. Sammy will SACRIFICE anything on his perilous path to REDEMPTION, even a promising future with a beautiful woman carrying his unborn child. Yet in the end, his ultimate unknowing sacrifice will be not for the greater good, but rather for the greatest of all possible EVIL.
