Description
A hiker is killed in a public park—seemingly a random act of violence. With no leads to follow, the case stalls until a tip comes in. Kevin Mathers, an outside consultant known for bringing down a serial killer, is called to help.
As Kevin uncovers new clues, the police question whether the murder was an isolated incident. Then more bodies begin to appear—each death connected, in some way, to the first killing. Kevin and the homicide team chase every lead, only to find the investigation turning dangerously personal when the killer strikes close to home in a spasm of murderous rage.
Relentless in his pursuit, Kevin finally comes face-to-face with the killer in a heart-stopping fight to the finish—an unthinkable showdown in the very park where it all began.

Advance Praise
"Warning: If you're from Philly and up for a hard-boiled why-dunnit, you might want to avoid the Roxborough environs, while you read this galloping narrative, spiked with first-person glimpses into the mind of an unlikely killer. Kevin isn't a cop, but his part in the earlier apprehension of a serial murderer has left him with hero status, a homicide detective for a best friend, and incentive not to turn away from a murder in Fairmont Park until the perp has been brought to justice. Fasten your seat belt as Steven Fisher takes you along for the ride." - Helen Foster, author of Tidal Overlook, Lost Graces, and The Silent Hen
"KILLER URGE, Steven Fisher’s second thriller, plunges you into the mind of a serial killer and the race to end the murders. Set in vividly realized Philadelphia, it follows Detective Kevin as suspense builds with every twist. Smart, gripping, and impossible to put down, KILLER URGE will keep you turning pages long past bedtime." - Judith Partelow, author of Passion & Provocation: Selected Poems
“Fisher presents misguided villainy at its best, where nothing is as it seems in this fast-paced, unexpected action-packed thriller, leaving the reader guessing who will be the next victim.” - Jennifer Bourland, author of Hidden Shadow
"Killer Urge by Steven Fisher offers something special – a journey into the mind of a killer. Told from the alternating perspectives of the killer and the main protagonist, it will keep you on your toes, allowing you to see the story play out from both sides." -- Readers' Favorite
