Mayhem

The characters in this book were first published as short stories in such well-known magazines as Horror Zine, Down in the Dirt, Churches, Children and Daddies, Freedom Fiction, Dark Harbor and Chiron Review. Kropp's story moves with cinematic intensity, weaving hardboiled realism with ghostly suspense. Every page pulses with tension as Scot navigates a world where moral lines blur, and the dead are often more honest than the living. Through crime, corruption, and otherworldly encounters, the young psychic becomes both hunter and hunted—forced to confront not only humanity's darkest impulses but the haunting cost of his own gift. "Homicide Crimes is about more than solving murders," says Kropp. "It's about redemption, purpose, and the power of justice—even when it comes from beyond the grave." Fans of supernatural thrillers and gritty noir fiction will find Kropp's writing both visceral and thought-provoking. The story balances high-octane action with emotional depth, exploring how trauma, guilt, and survival shape the human spirit. In Scot, readers find a deeply complex protagonist—vulnerable yet unbreakable, lost yet determined to bring light into the shadows. Homicide Crimes stands out as a powerful blend of paranormal mystery and crime fiction, creating a new kind of hero for readers who crave intensity and meaning in equal measure. With sharp dialogue, relentless pacing, and a chilling atmosphere, Tom Kropp crafts a story that grips the reader from the first page and never let's go. Part ghost story, part crime thriller, and entirely unforgettable, Homicide Crimes asks the ultimate question— what if justice doesn't end with death? Kropp's series continues with Mayhem and Poetic Violence.
