The Butterfly Man Ron De Laby

Alvin Simpleman was so bland he was nearly invisible. He wanted it that way. It allowed him to stalk his young female victims before kidnapping and murdering them. He had made a life?s study of his prey. He was now able to choose them from the crowded malls and follow them to their homes where he took them at will and introduced them to a fate too horrible to contemplate. The only evidence of his crimes were the small business cards received by their loved ones with a macabre announcement of the fate of the victim.

Riverside police detectives, Jon Moreland and Earl Smith had plenty of work of their own trying to keep the warring factions of the Riverside Crips and the Los Diablo?s Locos from each other?s throats. The introduction of Alvin and his evil to the citizens of Riverside was not something they needed to add to their busy lives.

A fast paced novel of crime and punishment. Not for the squeamish.
