Slayer's Rain

 A Knife In The Night!

Iron Harbor is rocked by storms every summer but this year, it's raining blood. A serial killer stalks the dark urban maze, always two steps ahead of the police. He kills without pattern, without motive, leaving nothing but the dead behind.

Masked vigilante Black Tiger is out of his depth. He'd dealt with gangs, crime lords, and supervillains in the past but now he's hunting a foe he can't punch, a shadow that mocks him even as it kills and kills again. The distraction of hot young cop Jordan isn't helping matters, either.

He needs help.

“I do not,” Black Tiger said. “Crimefighting. That being what I do. You’re the ace crime reporter in this region, and I… um, want you to mentor me, kinda.”

“What?”

“I patrol and look for trouble. Burning building, no problem, I’ll rush into that. Drug deal on the docks, sure thing, I’m your guy. Nut in a costume tearing up downtown? I’m on it. But… that’s just, um, peanuts. Stuff I blunder into. But I want to do more.”

Teaming up with reporter Beth Palmer, who has put together disturbing details about the killer, Black Tiger searches for his elusive prey - unaware that he's being stalked in turn.

He watched Black Tiger head uptown. He wanted to follow him, track him again. He was so close to finding the man’s home, finding his real name, he could taste it. He took a step toward uptown. Black Tiger was fast and strong, but so was he. He could catch up to him, easily.

No. I’ve spent too much time on this already. I need to get back on track. It’s been weeks, now. Shameful.

He ached to use his knives. It was three weeks since the last time he’d killed. Three weeks since The Morocco Room. Since then, he’d spent the time attempting to locate Black Tiger by shadowing him during his patrols and stakeouts, hoping to discover his headquarters. He knew he was close, so close, but the man was surprisingly elusive. No-one had ever eluded him for so long.
