The East Mountain Murders — Jeff Smith

The Brute..A huge beast of a man who prowls at night and remains hidden from the general public because of his hideous head and face from his long-ago family ancestry. On October 8, 2013, a timer goes off deep in his evil soul, and he begins a series of murders, leaving his female victims on East Mountain in Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas, with a special message attached to each one of them. The city is in fear as the murders continue throughout the winter. Private Investigator Denzil R. Montgomery is called in to assist the FBI in the investigation, which is being closely covered by reporter Jake Smith. Both of them get drawn deep into the case when Montgomery figures out the pattern, and a trap is set for The Brute to put an end to his reign of terror once and for all.
