As I ate breakfast, I realized it had been over a year since I killed someone.
Then they murdered Adrian.
Adrian Thompson just wanted a fun night out with his friends. Josh was getting married and they were celebrating.
Four guys out on a bachelor weekend are murdered the same night as another shooting across town at a nightclub.
Police captured Victor Cross, the nightclub shooter, an up and coming professional killer who recently moved from being a street level gun for hire to higher paying contracts.
After days in police custody, he offered them a deal: give him a new name and a new life and he will provide testimony that will put thirty known criminals in jail for murder.
He was offering to rat out all of his customers. The FBI wants the deal and Florida police can close 36 murder cases.
But there is a problem.
Adrian was the younger brother of Trunk's ex-wife, Emmie.
Since his death his girlfriend has stayed hidden in her apartment with a gun. Her past has come back to haunt her.
Another of the four men murdered was a cocaine dealer to the wealthy of Orlando, 99% pure Peruvian product, test results available. He sells it by the ounce with the help of Alice, his posh English girlfriend. Business was good.
Another owns four car washes around the city. He employs the recently paroled and demands ten percent of their wages or he'll give negative reports about them to their parole officers.
With little progress, Emmie asks Trunk to find the killer.
The two cases are unconnected until after weeks in custody and a deal in his pocket, the nightclub shooter confesses to murdering the four men and names a low-level thief as his customer for the job.
Trunk has questions like why was he arrested heading towards the shooting of the four men instead away from it? Why did he wait to confess to this shooting?
On the other side of the world there are different questions.
How far would you go for love?
Would you kill?
Would you steal?
Would you sell false hope to the parents of a sick child to steal their money in order to keep the love of your life alive?
Sarkis Danielian has done all of these things and more.
But that was years ago. Now he is Gregor Kanaan and one of the founders of Thyone Therapeutics, a NASDAQ traded biotech company at the forefront of finding a cure for cancer.
Adrian worked at Thyone.
You remember Mehir Orbach don't you, the teenage psychopath that despises Trunk?
He has a new online business.
In addition to drugs, fake IDs, and stolen credit card numbers, his darknet emporium is pleased to announce the opening of murder-for-hire listings.
Trunk's least favorite person is causing problems again and he could care less about the kid.
But his tech resource, Chandler, is a partner in the darknet business and murder for hire services put not only Mehir and Chandler in danger, but also his and Trunk's therapist, Rabbi Chesed Giller too.
Rabbi Chesed has a new patient, Kendall.
So far she has confessed to multiple murders and is just getting started. And she's coming to town to have her first ever face to face session with her therapist.
Can he survive telling a murderous patient he can't see her anymore?
Breakups with Kendall can be fatal.
Over the years Walter Johnson has saved Trunk's life three times.
Walter is retiring and moving to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, putting down his pistol after nearly forty years.
Strong and Wrong, Trunk #7
