In the face of forensic evidence and expert investigation, what happens when a serial killer behaves in unprecedented ways and leaves few clues behind to work with? In Tender Prey, a new psychological thriller by R.C. Morris, a detective recovering from the loss of his own daughter races to catch a murderer on the loose. As a suspense writer, Morris weaves a tale that keeps readers on the edge. “Author grips readers with surprising, unexpected plot twists,” said the Peninsula Gateway about Morris. Morris has an extensive background in criminal justice and the behavioral sciences. Retired after 26 years as a highly decorated Army Special Forces officer, he served as a Special Investigator for Washington State and in the criminal justice system Department of Corrections. An avid skier and fisherman, he lives with his wife in Washington and Florida. When not writing, you will find Morris on his boat. A lifelong history enthusiast and world traveler, he has used his observation of the human condition as the catalyst for expansion of his interests into mainstream fiction. His debut novel and thriller, Don’t Make the Blackbirds Cry, has been nominated for the 2005 Mystery Writers of America Edgar Award, Best First Novel (that’s also a mystery) and was a nominee for the 2004 Independent Publisher Book Awards. Tender Prey is available in softcover (ISBN 1-58939-812-2) and hardcover (ISBN 1-58939-813-0) from Virtualbookworm.com, Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. The book can also be ordered from most bookstores around the United States and the United Kingdom. Visit www.raycmorris.com to contact the author. -30-
