Review - Rubble and the Wreckage by Rodd Clark
My rating:
Kindly note: An electronic review copy of this book was supplied by the author. Aspiring author Christian is on to something. He has been researching a string of unsolved and seemingly unconnected murders across the country, and he believes they’re the work of one man. Not even the FBI has figured out what Chris has seen in the randomness of the crimes. He becomes almost obsessive in his quest to research the killings, and maybe even track down the murderer so he can write his story.
