Free Audiobook : The Guilty One, by Bill Schweigart

In every town, a hero is essential, and Detective Cal Farrell perfectly fits the role. He gained popularity among the Alexandria press after single-handedly stopping an active shooter six months ago. However, there's a catch: Cal has no recollection of that fateful day. Collaborating with a psychiatrist to regain his lost memories has yielded little progress so far.

During one of his routine morning runs, Cal once again finds himself at the forefront of a gruesome discovery—a body suspended impossibly high from a tree. Another victim soon follows, brutally murdered with a blade and dumped in a ravine. As the body count rises, each crime scene more macabre than the last, Cal detects an intricate pattern to the killings that eludes everyone else—an enigma reminiscent of ancient legends.

Dubbed as "Old Town Jack" by the people of Alexandria, the serial killer, Cal realizes that his city has a peculiar inclination for building heroes only to dismantle them. Unless he unravels the truth, this celebrated local champion might become the next target for annihilation.
