The Suicide Killer

Detective Sergeant J. J. "Cowboy" Manford, a fifteen-year veteran of the Caine City Police Department, is the one called out to investigate unusual deaths. His current case initially looks like a suicide, a jumper. However, the facts surrounding the case just aren't adding up to suicide. The more he seeks an answer, the more disconcerting it becomes. Eventually, a crossover of just a few items, no suicide note, and someone who goes by CT lead to the discovery of nine similar cases over a twenty-year period. This discovery leaves Detective Manford seeking a serial killer who has made his kills look like suicides. The ultimate question is, were they suicides or murders?
