Sloth

by Sanzaki Kojika

In the burning summer heat, Chicago is plagued with a string of gruesome murders. The corpses turn up mangled, their skins entirely stripped off. The cases are weeks apart, and the only thing the victims have in common is their ghastly demise. There are no leads, no hints, no trace of the killer left behind. And without a client, Cain Investigations is forced to sit on the sidelines. When another body washes up along Lake Michigan, the Chicago PD is desperate to bring a close to the case, assigning it to Detectives McKinley and Vargas. As they dig deeper into their investigation, McKinley starts to be haunted by nightmares. Fearing for her life, she seeks out help from Cain Investigations, hiring them to get to the bottom of these murders before she becomes the next victim.

About the author

Sanzaki Kojika, also known by her real name Fawn, has been a resident of a fantasy world from a young age, growing up in a house full of books and mythology. By the age of 8, she had already written her first novel (albeit crudely). On top of her writing, she is also a freelance graphic designer. She has several self-published graphic novels, including her ongoing webcomic series "Zos Kias," started back on July 10, 2006. She has since been published with illustrations and comics in Antarctic Press.

On top of writing and drawing her own work and taking on work for clients, she works at a comic book store and tutors Japanese. She also enjoys sewing/cosplaying and singing. If it’s one thing she doesn’t do, it’s sleep! And honestly, if she could be a dragon, she would.

[Alex Fayborne · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was very happy with the ending, but I am also impatient and want to know what's going to come of this new twist. Vere has had so much character development over the course of the series, which is why he is my favourite character, followed by Ken who is a very close second.
