On the dark, wet streets of Seattle, a killer is stalking scores of seemingly random victims. Armed with a rare Russian knife, the Seattle Slasher operates with ruthless efficiency killing -- and skinning -- his prey, while leaving police little to go on. With a mounting casualty list, there appears to be no end in sight.

Eric Clinner is a hardworking technician at the Seattle morgue who sees firsthand the Seattle Slasher’s handiwork. After his beautiful wife had been robbed and killed two years earlier, Eric knows all too well the pain a murderer leaves behind; but this mild-mannered man of science also hides a dark secret. As the loneliness and sorrow caused by Amber’s death become too much, Eric finds himself increasingly driven to depraved acts, as if to test his ability to feel.

Eric’s compulsion has become the public’s top priority as a panic-stricken populace, desperate city officials, and paranoid governor all race against time to stop the next body bag. And all of it leads up to a shocking finale that has to be read to be believed.

A fast-paced, smart and savvy thriller, The Effects of Being Alone mixes lightning-sharp dialog, high-stakes medical drama and psychological intrigue for a book that will keep readers guessing right up until the very end.
