No Motive for Murder

Picture
Thriller

“It takes a lot of talent to creep readers out using only humans as your subject matter, not paranormal creatures. Stephen King and Thomas Harris have perfected that art, but precious few others have. Doug Hantke has.” 

Psychologist Gary Schaade started receiving tapes and letters from potential killers soon after releasing his bestselling book Psyche of a Serial Killer. When Gary receives a tape at his office, he is sure it is another entertaining attempt to scare him and his wife. This tape is different. 

Gary always theorized that the deadliest of serial killers were ones without motive. As more tapes arrive, it becomes obvious that Gary may finally have the confession he’s needed to prove it. But how far will he go? 

When the murders get more personal, Gary will have a difficult choice to make. Will he sacrifice the lives of those close to him to further his career? 
Is it truly possible to have No Motive for Murder? 

Fast-paced, No Motive for Murder is a rollercoaster thriller. Hantke is a master of misdirection and he proves it in this stunning debut.
