Kam Miller’s crime thriller novel, Myth of Crime, is also available on Amazon.

While investigating a gruesome triple homicide, psychologist Dr. Erika Harlow and rookie homicide detective Carter Hunt uncover similarities between seemingly random solved murders and an emerging serial killer.

The cases challenge every accepted criminal psychological model, leading the young duo to explore even the most unconventional theories – including myths and superstitions.

As they delve into past solved crimes, Erika and Carter meet resistance at every turn, especially from Carter’s veteran partner. Erika and Carter must face their fears, their demons, and their burgeoning feelings for each other to stop a serial killer and grasp the myth of crime.

Dark and compelling, this crime suspense thriller by Kam Miller (“Law & Order: SVU”) probes human and supernatural depths. Myth of Crime combines elements from the rich history of the Catholic church, complex higher mathematics, and the behavioral science of serial killer profiling to create an exhilarating, intelligent mystery.
