Soul Thief, that pretty much describes the act of murder when you think about it. What is there that can be taken from a person? Property? Money? Their identity? You can recover and get those things back, but there's something that can be taken from you that you will never get back . . . your life! When the urge to kill another human being surfaces, it could be a passing or fleeting moment wrought of anger and quickly forgotten. However, there are those among us that yield to the desire to fulfill the urge to kill and the worst of these is the random serial killer. This story follows the point where this urge gives way to reality for one such person and provides a look inside the absolutely twisted mind of a killer. He begins his activity as a new Police Chief takes over in the normally quiet town of Port Hudson on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. David Marsh, the new Police Chief, has come to the area to escape the escalating insanity of being a police officer in a large urban city. He's hoping to find the mundane small town crime problems a relief from his former hectic life. The killings in and around Port Hudson threaten to bring a quick end to his new life if he doesn't catch the killer . . . fast.
