by
John L. Flynn
Genre:
Mystery, Crime Thriller
Someone
has a fetish for murder.
Detective
Kate Dawson is willing to go undercover to catch a serial
killer.
But
this time, undercover may be exactly what the killer wants.
A
rich, politically connected CEO dies in his private dungeon on a
foggy San Fran night--beaten and castrated by a mysterious sex worker
he hired. Detective Kate Dawson and her partner are assigned the
case. Their only lead is a provocative email from "Crystal Rose"
and an IP address at the University of San Francisco.
Before
long, Kate's on the trail of a serial killer who uses the seedy
underworld of porn shops, Internet sex sites, and S&M clubs to
target victims. She knows the only way to catch the killer is to
become part of that world.

Architects
of Armageddon
Kate
Dawson Thrillers #2
Someone
is hell-bent on world destruction…
Inspector
Kate Dawson is called to investigate a mass murder; a call that will
change her life, and possibly the whole world—forever.
Certain
parents have been directed to put their children to death. They
believe they are the Chosen Ones, destined by God to inherit the
Earth. The charismatic leader of End Times Ministries, whose grand
plan includes stoking the fires of Armageddon, has ordered
parishioners to close ranks and prepare for a holy war.
Kate
Dawson knows this is not God’s will, but that of a dangerous,
diabolical mind that controls the lives of his people. “They plan
to start a war!”
“Nearly
a million people live in the San Francisco Bay area,” Senator
Santiago said.
“That’s
a lot of lives that would be lost, but nowhere near the hundreds of
millions of lives lost in a global war, and the starvation, and
sickness, and disease that follows.”
“So,
you’re saying, the Doomsday clock is ticking?” Kate asked,
already sensing the answer.
“It’s
five minutes to midnight . . .”
Kate
would have been the first one to confess that she didn’t know a
whole lot about politics and religion—but she did know there was a
group of fanatics out there who were determined to move the hands of
the clock closer to midnight, and it was her duty to stop them.
Murder
on Air Force One
Kate
Dawson Thrillers #3
Murder
on Air Force One When Inspector Kate Dawson is called in the wee
hours of the morning, little did she know what would be waiting for
her on the tarmac of San Francisco International Airport. Air Force
One has landed with a corpse in the lavatory—Madame President and
the First Man were on board with a slew of reporters and other
presidential personnel. It seems someone enjoyed kinky foreplay, like
having their oxygen supply limited, a gasper. It just went too far…or
did someone else take advantage and finish her off? International
politics, conspiracies, affairs, cover-ups, and all involving the
First Family…

Terror
at G-20
Kate
Dawson Thrillers #4
Terror
at G-20 (Fall 2017) by John L. Flynn is the fourth book in The
Kate Dawson Thrillers. Someone has a fetish for the Asian sex
trade... From what begins as the simple murder of a sex worker,
Inspector Kate Dawson follows the clues to human trafficking and
ultimately the Asian sex trade. Then, as the date of the G-20 Summit
in San Francisco draws closer, Dawson struggles to connect the lives
of five Asian women, who have presumably disappeared in Chinatown,
with that of a mad North Korean Generals master plan of bringing
about economic chaos in the West and his nuclear submarine playing
hide-and-go-seek with fishermen in the Bay. As world leaders and
economists converge on the annual summit, Dawson must prevent terror
from breaking out at the G-20.
