Killer of Killers 10: Random Victims
Kalen needs to escape his prison, but the people who have taken him want something. What
they want will end his life and put his long-time friend, Mitchell, in great danger. Kalen never saw
the woman stuck on the side of the road with a broken-down car as a threat until it was too late.
Now, his only link to Mitchell is the visions in his head of a terrible coming peril. A thrilling game
of psychological terror is ongoing, and Kalen must find a way to help his partner. When Kalen
envisions a serial killer slowly making his way through the home of a little girl, he knows he must
use every tool in his arsenal to escape his binds.
An awful secret is about to come to the surface, and Kalen realizes it isn’t only Mitchell whose
life is at risk. Now, his escape has become more urgent than ever. As his suspicions are
confirmed, Kalen knows time is working against him. His perilous imprisonment must end to
save the man who has become a part of his family.
He must overcome the cage he’s locked in, an overzealous companion, his wicked imprisoners,
and the knowledge that the killers Mitchell seeks on the outside aren’t who he believes them to
be.

Craig DiLouie,
Author of THE CHILDREN OF RED PEAK
“Charles Welch is a captivating author. I literally read this book in one setting, it was exciting and I had to find out what happened next. Croatoan is a wicked character that is as old as time. I loved the split of two times in Croatoan’s life-as the raging dead. This book is a cliff hanger and I can not wait to find out what happens next to Tom and Sin and the tribal people. I’m hooked on this fantastic vampire continuation. Congrats Dr. Welch on another superb book!”

“This author is probably the most talented writer I’ve ever read.
His stories are so original and captivating it beggars belief.
I’ve been reading constantly at least 5 books a week from all different authors for over 50 years and I am in awe of his storytelling.
I feel blessed that I’ve actually stumbled upon his work.”
