The Butcherbird - Paperback

by Vince Dajani (Author)

There's a string of grotesque homicides in Baltimore and Elijah Burton keeps waking up in strange places.

Plagued by nightmares of the house fire that killed his son, Eli becomes obsessed with prosecuting a local vigilante who used excessive force against a minor. Taking advantage of his sleepless nights, Eli uncovers the "hero's" illegal surveillance and ties to criminal activity. It's an open-and-shut case until the defense offers up a plea deal:

Drop the charges. In exchange, the defendant will destroy the photos of Eli murdering the men who killed his son.

As concerning evidence mounts and his coworkers begin to suspect there's a deeper connection to the string of deaths, Eli must find the evidence to prove he's not the killer or lose his mind trying.
