The Killer

The Killer is the final book in award-winning author R.J. Ellorys electrifying ebook trilogy, THREE DAYS IN CHICAGOLAND. The testimonies of the sister, the cop and the killer will at last reveal the dreadful truth behind the brutal murder of a young girl in Chicago in 1956.

Lets face facts here-theres some folks who just shouldnt be allowed to raise up kids.
Harsh, but true.

Id have to include myself among them, for sure, but I reckon my father would get top billing.

Ive been in Chicago for over ten years now. I was raised in Taylorville, Illinois, but I fled here back in 46. Not before I took a childhood of batterings from my old man, and saw my ma suffer vicious beating after vicious beating. Oh yeah, Ray Woodroffe regretted both his marriage and his kids, and he didnt shy away from showing us.

So I came here. Earned some money, got a place of my own. But that kind of cruelty leaves its mark. Its hereditary. And it found its way into my heart, my bones, my blood. Ive been living with guilt a good long time now and finally its time to make amends. I am a killer and tomorrow morning at ten oclock, not a moment sooner or later, I am going to die in the electric chair.

Includes an exclusive preview of Ellorys gripping novel, A Dark and Broken Heart.
