The Doomsday Butcher

S.E. Stitcher

A rookie FBI profiler haunted by flames. An end-times killer leaving sermons in blood. Can Cole Chambers stop the next “sign” before prophecy becomes massacre? New York, 1993. Criminal profiling is still a fledgling science—and Special Agent Cole Chambers is about to be thrown into the deep end. At dawn, the gates of an amusement park creak open to reveal the carousel turning. Four bodies ride the painted horses. One crowned in gold. One bound in barbed wire. One starved hollow. One nailed beneath the words: Behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death. The killer isn’t just murdering. He’s preaching. Fresh from Quantico and desperate to prove himself, Cole is paired with legendary law enforcer Barry “The Beast” Kozlowski to stop a zealot obsessed with fire-and-brimstone theology. And fire is the one thing Cole knows he can’t control. Years ago, flames left scars on his arm and stole his little sister. Now a maniac calling himself the Angel of Justice is reenacting the Book of Revelation—seal by seal, trumpet by trumpet. Each murder escalates. Each message grows clearer. And the next prophecy is already in motion. If Cole can’t master his own demons, the butcher will turn scripture into slaughter. The Doomsday Butcher is Book 1 of the complete 7-book Cole Chambers FBI Profiler Thrillers series. Each novel features a new serial killer investigation, while an overarching story of friendship, love, loss, betrayal, and redemption builds across all seven books toward an explosive series finale. The series is intended to be read in order. Start reading The Doomsday Butcher now before the next seal breaks!
