Summary

Bodies of young ladies are being washed up on the shores of the Hudson River in New York City, it is obvious that a serial killer is on the loose. Detective Mario Simpson and his team at the NYPD established that the first name of each of the murdered women are mentioned in Beatles records and the dates of their disappearances coincide with the release dates of the records. Worse yet, they believe the culmination of the killer’s spree will be at a concert where the headliner is a Superstar who has the unfortunate distinction of having one of the names on the killer’s list. What is the motive behind the killer’s attacks? How can they prevent more murders? These are questions for Mario and his team. What they do know is that they must apprehend the killer before a catastrophic event occurs at the concert because it is not only the star of the show who is being targeted but also many of the concertgoers.

Hi Richard,

I just finished reading your story Murder of a Multitude and I loved it so much. Your writing is gripping, and I kept thinking how compelling it would look as a comic.

I really loved the opening scene where Detective Mario Simpson and his team discover the first body washed up on the shores of the Hudson River. The eerie atmosphere and the mystery surrounding the case would translate perfectly into dramatic comic panels. Also, the moment when the team uncovers the connection between the victims' names and Beatles records adds a layer of intrigue that would be fascinating to illustrate visually.

I’m a commissioned artist, and I’d love to bring your story to life in comic/manga form. No pressure though.I just think your work would look incredible in visual storytelling.

You can check out some of my recent artwork on my DeviantArt (Username – Ev3Verse). If you’re interested, please message me on Discord (Username – Eve_Verse) so we can discuss how to bring your story to life visually. I'll be waiting to hear from you!

Regards,
Evee
