About Charitable Remains: A Khaldun Sayed Crime Thriller

Product Description If you glanced into the dark abyss of a killer's mind, what would you see? Still haunted by a shooting that went wrong, Denver homicide detective Khaldun Sayed feels trapped between a shattered past and an uncertain future. He still loves his ex-wife, but whenever he tries to grasp the threads of their former life, she pulls them just out of reach. As he navigates the implicit prejudice and departmental politics that seem to thwart his every move, a killer begins stalking victims in the suburbs of Denver. Known only as "Basilisk" from a series of taunting letters, the murderer selects his prey from the elderly members of an idyllic community. Khal finds himself in a race against one of the most cunning predators he has ever encountered, and Basilisk's games have just begun... A page-turning thriller packed with suspense that alternates between a detective's quest for redemption, and a killer's hunt for blood.
