Striker Two, Ball One: Behind in the Count
S. Ritter’s latest two books about a serial killer named Steve Striker complete a trilogy begun with the first book Normal by Day. The second book is Striker Two, Ball One: Behind in the Count and the final book is Stalking Striker: Hunting a Killer.
In Striker Two, Ball One, Striker returns to his life of crime after a well-deserved leave of absence from the mob. To his surprise, he is welcomed back with open arms and is even given a promotion, which makes him the leader of his own team of enforcers. He becomes obsessed with the desire to clean up the Family, until he learns that he is being watched. Striker begins to question his own loyalties and prepares to do the unthinkable.
Stalking Striker: Hunting a Killer
Another Striker thriller is about to strike! Set in northern Minnesota, Stalking Striker: Hunting a Killer is the third book in the Striker series.
The main character is FBI Agent Jimmy Blake, while Steve Striker, the predominant character and villain of the first two books, continues with his career of crime. With Jimmy’s unique style of profiling, he quickly advances in the agency and is assigned to the serial murders in the northern part of the state, marking his first case as head agent.
Jimmy’s personal and emotional problems play into the suspense, and at times he appears to be controlled by Striker. Obsessed with solving the murders, Jimmy’s personality changes from a loving, devoted husband and father to a manipulating jerk. The dramatic conclusion will take readers by surprise, as Jimmy moves in on Striker.
