Publisher Description
One Detective. A killer on the move through human space. The ultimate target.
The name's Burnside, and I always get the weird cases. I built my detective career taking down the strangest bad guys in Earth Sector. No matter how crazy the case, I always managed to get it off the books.
After twenty years of pounding my beat, I was ready to pack it in, and I'd called it a day. Then these killings started, weird to the point of freaked out PD Chiefs, and only one person who fit the case. So much for retirement.
You'd think twenty years of weird would have you weirded out. But crime scenes are not the only weird out there, and expanding your experience of weird isn't for the faint hearted.
The story I'm going to tell you covers 2 years of my life, and took me from one end of human space to the other. And that's when the weird really starts, out on the edge, where space is owned now by Jonathon Hunter, and I get his best people to work with.
This was one for the history books, and my name will always be remembered, because of Burnside's Killer.

About the Authors
Timothy Ellis is the author of the Spacemage Chronicle series and the Hunter Legacy series.
Scott Sakatch has been a journalist, a waiter, a ditch rider, a railroad clerk, a consultant, a college instructor, a communications professional for the beef cattle industry and a full-time fiction writer. Guess which one he likes the best.
He started making up stories in his head as a child but never wrote anything down because, to be honest, he was a pretty lazy kid. In 2006, he finally wrote his first ever piece of fiction, a sci-fi short story about aliens, farmers and terrorism, called "Dust To Dust." A few months later, to his utter amazement, it was published in On Spec: The Canadian Magazine of Speculative Fiction. They even paid him money for it, if you can believe that.
He wrote False Witness, a mystery-thriller about journalists and outlaw bikers that he'd conceived years earlier while still a reporter. In 2017, he wrote In Angel We Trust, a short thriller about a bestselling author who is terrorized by home invaders. His sci-fi detective novel Burnside's Killer was co-written with bestselling author Timothy Ellis.
He lives with his wife in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. They have two grown children and a dog.
