Damaged — Richard C. Hale

Ladies of the night are dying. Dying badly. And when Jaxon Jennings' first day back as a homicide detective starts with a bang, he knows he's in for the ride of his life. Prostitutes keep showing up dead, and Jaxon and his partner, Ray, must battle against the clock to find the man responsible. But the killer has other ideas, and with evidence planted at the scenes that leads nowhere, Jaxon knows the man is no ordinary criminal. This killer is smart. Very smart. And as the body count continues to climb, Jaxon finds that people from his past are somehow tied to the deaths. In his latest pulse-pounding thrill ride, author Richard C Hale cranks up the tension and never lets up until the surprising ending.
