About this Item

Paperback. "Strings" is a gritty, intense, and disturbing narrative that dives into the mind and upbringing of a serial killer who refers to himself as The Jackal. From a young age, the narrator is shaped by severe abuse and twisted lessons from their parents-parents who seem to be murderers themselves. These early teachings instill in him a worldview centered on control, manipulation, and survival.The story begins with the discovery of an elderly woman's decomposing body in her home, which leads authorities to a horrifying scene: multiple human bodies hung and staged in the basement, signaling the presence of a calculating and methodical serial killer. As the investigation unfolds, a complex web of past trauma, systemic failures, and brutal revenge begins to reveal itself.The killer appears to be targeting individuals involved in child protective services, law enforcement, education, and the legal system-people who, presumably, failed to protect him or someone he loved. The killings are not random; they're messages. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

About this title

Synopsis

A wellness check leads to a gruesome discovery in a middle-class neighborhood. Several bodies, including children, are found hanging in the basement of an elderly woman’s home. Meanwhile, the elderly woman’s body is discovered upstairs, decaying in her living room.

As police detectives look for clues, the mayor invites the FBI to help in on the case. As the identities of the victims are made, there are more questions on who the actual killer may be. Is there one killer or multiple, or is it the organization of serial killers known as the Agency.

The police, detectives, and the FBI must put egos aside and work together to solve the case. However, every step forward they take simultaneously puts their families and themselves at risk or in harms way.

Each of them must make a choice between right and wrong, challenging their morals on what’s more important; their life, the life of others, or letting the killer(s) get away. Regardless of the choice, they’re watching and already planning their next victim’s fate.
