White Angel Murder/Chains of Darkness
THE MOST VICIOUS MURDER IN A CITY'S HISTORY . . .
A killer stalks the city of San Diego, brutally slaying women on the fringes of society. The body of a young woman torn apart in her bedroom makes even the hardened detectives of the San Diego PD's Homicide Unit tremble with disgust and rage.
A DETECTIVE WITH A TROUBLED PAST . . .
For SDPD homicide detective Jon Stanton, the young woman is more than just another case. His former partner, Eli Sherman, was the original detective assigned to the case; before he was discovered to be one of San Diego's most ruthless serial killers.
A FINAL CHANCE AT REDEMPTION . . .
Stanton was unable to see Eli Sherman for what he was and blames himself for the murders he committed while on the force. Stanton swears that he will never wear the badge again, but with a depraved killer eluding the best San Diego PD has, he must once again fight to uncover a killer that leaves no evidence behind, and that has turned his attention to new prey . . .

Victor Methos
Few writers of legal thrillers have lived the stories they tell as closely as Victor Methos. Born in Kabul and raised in the United States from the age of nine, he grew up with an outsider’s eye, watching, questioning, and writing. By ten, he was already crafting short stories in English, sensing that the written word could carry both truth and danger. That instinct would follow him into adulthood, shaping a career that straddled the courtroom and the page.
Before turning to fiction full time, Methos built his reputation in the legal world. He studied philosophy at the University of Utah, then shifted course to law school, where his fascination with justice became something far sharper. Over the next decade, he tried more than a hundred cases ranging from capital murder to high-stakes civil rights battles. Each trial demanded not just intellect but moral clarity, and many of those experiences left their imprint on his novels.
