    About this ebook

    FBI Agent Pete Neal has a serial killer to catch. Jacksonville Jack has murdered 34 women in four cities. In previous existences Jacksonville Jack has been Seattle Sidney, St. Louis Lenny and Baltimore Bertie. Although the names sound like a joke this man is anything but a joker. He kills ten women in each city and then moves on.

    Pete Neal’s partner is FBI Agent Molly Syracuse. It is a Friday morning and Molly is driving south on I-95 after a breakfast meeting on a different case. As she drives she thinks about Jacksonville Jack and wonders how they are ever going to catch this damn serial killer. He has to be somewhere; the question is where? Molly is frustrated by the lack of progress in the case and wonders if they will ever get close to the serial killer. Right when she is thinking this Jacksonville Jack’s Subaru Forester passes her on the opposite side of the freeway heading north. At the moment Jacksonville Jack passes Molly Syracuse they are literally less than ten feet apart for a fraction of a second.

    Jack is taking a little trip up to the Georgia Mountains. Officially he’s out hunting deer but Jack has a completely different prey in mind for this trip.

      Jacksonville Jack 3 - Helen in Georgia

      Molly Syracuse lifted her nightdress over her shoulders and then stepped naked into the shower. As Molly stepped into her shower, Jacksonville Jack was stepping out of his. Jack had an early start today. He toweled his hair dry just as Molly was rubbing shampoo into her hair. As Jack combed his hair Molly was rinsing hers. Jack walked into his bedroom just as Molly was soaping the underside of her left breast.

      Jack looked over at his bed. A suitcase lay on the left side of the bed. Also on the bed were his weapons for the day. A Japanese jutte lay on the right side of the bed. Jack had bought that weapon when he lived in Baltimore. There were several men and one woman in the Washington/Baltimore area who supplied martial arts weapons and Baltimore Bertie had been a regular customer of three of those people. He had bought the jutte from a man who lived in Ellicott City not far from the I-695 Baltimore Beltway. The jutte was a compact specialized martial arts weapon and in Japanese the literal meaning of the word was the power of ten hands. The boshin or main shaft on the jutte was made of solid iron and was designed to put an opponent down with one blow to the head. A typical jutte ranged in size from twelve inches to twenty-four inches long. Jack’s jutte was at the lower end and was exactly twelve inches long. A jutte may have more than one kagi or hook protruding from the side of the jutte and Jack’s jutte had two with one on either side of the main shaft. The kagi was used to hook into body parts like the nose or the mouth and rip them open or to hook into clothing and there were occasions when it could be used to put pressure on joints. Jack tended to use it to smash someone’s head open. Three or four blows with a twelve inch long rod of solid iron and a man was down no matter how tough he was. Often when Jack hit someone with the jutte he would end up cracking their skull, not that they were around too long to worry much about it.

      When he had worked in Baltimore he had actually lived in Annapolis and he been a regular visitor to the Barnes and Noble in Annapolis. There had often been a Russian woman sitting at a table there and one night she had taken a real exception to something one of the American women at the table had said. Jack had listened to the Russian woman tell the American woman that she did not know Russia at all, she just thought she knew Russia. The American woman had been very offended and with good reason, she was just a woman who was fascinated about foreign countries and interested to talk to a foreigner. Jack actually spoke a lot of Russian and for a moment he had thought about walking up to the Russian woman and telling her in Russian not to be so offensive but that would have just drawn attention to himself. That night he had been reading a book called The Arya Book of the Law and the book dated back thousands of years to the time when the Arya had first invaded India. In those days the races had still been distinct and Jack had come across a page that detailed the punishment to be meted out to an Indian man who made advances to an Arya woman. Arya was another way of saying Aryan and although it should have been obvious, many people living in Europe and also in America did not realize that another branch of their family tree had colonized Iran and also India. A Welshman called William Jones who was living in India in 1786 had published a book called The Sanskrit Language which postulated that Sanskrit was related to classical Greek and Latin. From there it had been realized that modern Lithuanian was closer to the ancient Sanskrit language of the Aryan people than even modern Hindi was.

      Jack often wondered what it would have been like to have lived in those days. Before they had been Christianized the Aryans living in Europe had done terrible things to all the peoples living around them and there were many countries in Europe which had once had different populations than those living in them now. Germany had once been a Celtic country for the Celts had been the first people to enter northern Europe after the ice age. When the Aryans had entered Europe one branch had headed north to Scandinavia and another had entered mainland Europe and ended up in Germany, Austria and Greece. When the Aryans entered Germany most of the Celts had fled and those that didn’t had been butchered.

      You could see Aryan attack methods all over the place in the modern world. Sherman’s march across the American south in the Civil War had been standard Aryan blitzkrieg tactics. Sherman was a German name and Jack was willing to bet when General Sherman’s ancestors had come across the Atlantic their name had been Shermann. When William the Conqueror had taken over England in 1066 there had been a rebellion in Durham and all the Norman soldiers in the town had been butchered in the middle of the night. In actual fact a colossal mistake had been made, their orders were to stay together but the Norman soldiers had been billeted in twos and threes with local Saxon families, making it easy to fall on them in the night. That had happened in the middle of winter and when William the Conqueror had found out about it he had been unable to do anything because the trails through the forests were impassable in winter. William the Conqueror was descended from Vikings who had settled in France and as soon as the weather improved he had rode north after brooding about the affair for the whole of the winter. When the Conqueror reached Durham he used standard Aryan battle tactics. Every Saxon they saw in Durham was butchered down to the last man, woman and child. They burnt the crops in the fields and killed all the animals so that those hiding in the forests would have nothing to eat. Then they rode through Northumberland and what they did was so savage that even one thousand years later the population density in Northumberland is lower than in other parts of England.

      Jack was descended from Aryans, most of his family was Scandinavian and the savagery of the Vikings was still in his blood. England had very few serial killers but one of the most notorious ones had been called Dennis Nilsen and he had had a Scottish mother and a Norwegian father. Jack had studied as many serial killers as he could and one of the main things he studied was how they had been caught. Dennis Nilsen had been caught when the drains in his apartment building had become blocked and the plumber sent to clear the drains had found a
