Tried to post this once, but for some reason I lost it. I do appreciate all your comments. I didn't realize the title, cover and blurb didn't connect. Here's another blurb that I hope resolves this problem. I purchased the photo on Dreamtime and created the cover with Powerpoint (Don't laugh) Will check out other options for authors on a small budget.
Here is the new blurb.
“I kill rich people.”
These chilling words provide police with the motive they have been seeking for the brutal slayings of two prominent citizens bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat.
Reporter Alamanda Tyler is in Detroit to write a human-interest story about a six-year-old girl killed in a drive by shooting. When Madeline Erickson, a wealthy society matron, is found beaten to death on a suburban street, Tyler’s boss orders her to “drop the piece on the black kid” to cover the story. A few days later, the body of Harrison Blaire, a Boston financier, is discovered in Detroit's Greektown district. The identical MO’s and absence of evidence linking the victims fuel speculation that a serial killer is on the prowl.
Tyler’s highly controversial interview with the prostitute Blaire physically abused hours before his death results in the Batter, the name given the killer by the media, viewing her as a kindred spirit. In an email sent from an untraceable account, he tells her about the deadly game he has devised to punish the wealthy for their sins.
With few leads, the Task Force convened by Michigan’s Governor, enlists Tyler’s aid in establishing a dialogue with the Batter. When this fails, Tyler puts her life on the line to end the carnage at the hands of the monster who has made a game out of cold-blooded murder.
