The Dead Soul (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781960332400)

From the desk of one of the most acclaimed and prolific true crime authors comes a mystery thriller certain to captivate his fans.

M. William Phelps's THE DEAD SOUL takes you on a suspenseful journey through Boston's illicit past, where Detective Jake "Sundance" Cooper fights to redeem his crumbling career. At the same time, a sadistic serial killer known as "the Optimist"-a character based on the author's 20 years of research and writing about real serial killers-terrorizes young female victims along the city's Freedom Trail.

Cooper's investigation exposes a corrupt Boston PD. It puts him at the center of a choice between blue blood loyalty and the pursuit of truth as his mentor, Detective Mo Blackhall, faces an indictment for his involvement in a scandal.

Originally published in 2014, this gritty thriller provides a fascinating look into the reality of Boston's mean streets. Driven by a cast of characters reminiscent of Dennis Lehane's finest fiction, THE DEAD SOUL offers a thrill ride of suspense, mystery, and police procedural drama.
