Presumed Guilty

With five women already dead, time is running out for the police to catch the killer before he strikes again. Within twenty-four hours of Yoko's arrival they have a suspect in custody: a precocious nineteen-year-old kid called Jefferson Winter whose IQ is off the charts. He's also a textbook psychopath and the son of one of America's most notorious serial killers. Not only does he confess to the murders, he knows details of the crimes that only the killer could know. It's an open and shut case, or is it?

Presumed Guilty is the first in the Jefferson Winter Chronicles and introduces readers to Yoko Tanaka, the woman who taught Winter everything he knows about serial criminals, and to the young Jefferson Winter, a highly intelligent yet haunted hero. Together they make an unforgettable team.
