The Crucifier (The Adler Legacy Series Book 1)

FBI Agent Gabi Longoria investigates a serial killer who crucifies victims across New York City. The killer displays superhuman abilities that suggest he may be unstoppable. Two years prior, Longoria uncovered the existence of superhumans—genetically engineered people with enhanced strength, intelligence, and abilities. Approximately 8,000 of these individuals now live in secret among the general population. Assigned to the case alongside her partner Ian Armory, Longoria faces a methodical killer who stages each body in ritualistic displays. The victims appear unconnected by age, background, or circumstance, stalling the investigation. The killer could be one person, two people working together, a brilliant psychopath, or a superhuman. If a superhuman is responsible, Longoria recognizes that the hidden existence of superhumans could be exposed. A superhuman killer represents the scenario most likely to force the government to reveal the truth about their existence—a revelation that would fundamentally change the world.
