(EBOOK) The Chemist: The Chemist Series, book 1

The Chemist blends chameleon-like into everyday life. He is charming, intelligent, and a sociopath. His liquid sedative allows him to kidnap any victim he chooses, day or night, leaving no trace or clues behind.

Lt. Cale Van Waring heads the Special Crimes Unit for the Green Bay PD. Three female victims have already vanished, with one headless body recovered from Lake Michigan. There are no suspects, no crime scene, and no witnesses. Theories range from cults to witchcraft covens to serial killers. Yet, with no viable clues, the investigators grasp at any leads as they hunt for a killer who leaves no trace—one  intent on committing a string of "perfect crimes."

Now a new victim has gone missing. City leaders are frustrated, the police brass angry, and Cale's fiancé issues him relationship ultimatums. Following a spotty trail, can Cale and his partners hunt down an invisible killer before he strikes again? Or does the Chemist have a more sinister plot in mind?

The Chemist is book 1 of 3 in the Chemist Series.

"The well-written and fast-paced plot flowed smoothly. I had to keep turning the pages to figure out who did what and why. I encountered witch doctors, voodoo, the dark web, child abduction, human trafficking, murder, illegal drugs, mystery, crime, suspense, and romance in this exciting book. Janson Mancheski did a fantastic job putting all of these different aspects in a storyline that pulled me in during the first few pages. The character development was outstanding, and I could visualize each of them. The drawings of the formula for the new drug made the story feel more realistic." - OnlineBookClub.org review

"I couldn't put it down. It is rare that I gasp out loud while reading and this book got me a couple of times!" - DMC

"Absolutely captivated by this book! Wrapping it all together in a brilliant page turner was no easy task! But Mancheski did it. Mask of Bone has outstanding internal character dialogue and is heart pounding exciting. I couldn't get enough or read it fast enough! I want to know what happens to Detective Van Waring and Maggie next! GREAT read!! This trilogy is highly recommended!"

"Outstanding!" - DMC

"Great thriller! You should read the whole "The Chemist Trilogy". What a winner! Each book in the trilogy is a page turner. 5.0 out of 5 stars." - Charly

Praise for the Chemist Series:
"Excellent Conclusion to a Riveting Thriller. This story evolved into a crime thriller in a way I didn't see coming from the beginning of this journey, and it's every bit as tense and exciting as you could possibly want it to be. Where as the first book was heavier on the procedural side of the law (mixed with horror elements), and the second delved deep into the darkness of this hunt, the third dwells more in a supernatural realm between religion and voodoo, with a detour in the perverse world of human trafficking (and pony-girl shows). It's a dark, daring book that will keep you hooked to the last word, that is, if you can stomach it. All in all, this is a fantastic conclusion to a harrowing tale, and I can't wait for the next Van Waring volume." - Grant Cousineau
