Jan Fabel Synopsis: In Blood Eagle by Craig Russell (book 1 of the series), Kriminalhauptkommissar Jan Fabel receives an e-mail that reads, “Time is strange, is it not? I write and you read and we share the same moment. Yet, as I write this, Herr Hauptkommissar, you sleep and my next victim still lives. As you read it, she is already dead. Our dance continues…” The same gruesome ritualistic method of killing. The same mocking tone in the e-mails. Everything points to the same killer. But there is nothing concrete to link the two cases, except for the one e-mail.
