There is a lunatic killing people out there, and he has to be stopped. Dubbed 'The Box-Office Butcher' by the press, thanks to his unique and gruesome signature flair- he kills all his victims in a recreation of the infamous, blood soaked moments of the hit horror flick, "Smash Hit."Box Office Butcher Smash Hit is a murder mystery suspense novel. It tells the story of 'The Box-Office Butcher', a killer who is committing murders just like those in the scenes of a new hit slasher movie. Kevin Harmes is a detective with the LAPD who is determined to find the killer before he completes the final scene. Little does the cop know this killer has a vendetta, and he will do whatever it takes to finish the job without interruption.The tale primarily takes place in Los Angeles, California, though the killer does travel to other cities to accomplish his planned agenda. The main characters in the book include The Box-Office Butcher, Detective Kevin Harmes and his partner, Joe Carter, Miles March, a famous film director, and a list of many others, including the victims of The Butcher and people from his past. There are also a few suspects on Harmes' list, but none of them hold the spotlight for more than a couple of scenes.While the killer in this book is killing people according to the movie, he is genuinely trying to make things right from his past; this is far more than a joyride for him. This is also something that police, of course, are not aware of; if they were, he would be apprehended in the first chapter. As the investigation goes on, Harmes begin to piece things together, and he comes to understand what is really going on in this person's mind. While what this guy is doing is horrifying, he is driven by a sense of necessity, which, by the end, almost makes his actions understandable, to an extent.www.rwkclark.com
