The Bishop's Secret

Ever since the 1st of October, there has been a series of ominous crimes. Murders so bizarre that even a well decorated detective like Sophia Blake couldn’t decipher them.

Perhaps, more sinister were the missing body parts on the remains of the victims. Eyes plucked out, genitals cut off, legs and hands amputated; it was indeed very worrying. ..And the fact that all corpses were found nailed to an inverted cross, also brought shivers.

No other detective wanted to take the cases. The sights were scary. Something about these murders, just felt so wrong!

Ten gruesome killings in a month, for a town that hasn’t recorded any crime in the past five years? It was totally unacceptable. Everyone in the town knew each other. All, are old faces. All, except Bishop Maxwell who just moved into town about five weeks ago. It couldn’t be him, could it? Thought Sophia.

Whoever it was, the serial killer needed to be stopped; And stopped fast. Too many bodies were piling in Sommerville!
