Recent release "The Awakening of the Widow Maker" from Page Publishing author Zoez Lajoune is the first novel in the Widow Maker Trilogy following the murderous exploits of a teenage killer whose psyche has been broken by the relentless drug-fueled violence of his hometown.
NEW YORK, March 19, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Zoez Lajoune, a Wisconsin native who studied writing at the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minnesota and currently resides in Coleraine, Minnesota, has completed his book "The Awakening of the Widow Maker": a suspenseful crime drama introducing Carlos McIntyre, a high school senior driven to kill by the maelstrom of violence that surrounds him.
Author Lajoune writes, "'The Awakening of The Widow Maker' is the story of high school senior Carlos MacIntyre, aka Lil Carlos, who loses his mind amid the violence birthed from a deadly trapezoid of personal ambition and selfish exploitation, which take place between two feuding families, controlling two crews at war in a struggle for power over a high-volume drug-trafficking zone. The war birthed from an old family betrayal that originated in North Minneapolis that has spread over time into a neighborhood that is located off Brooklyn Boulevard and Zane Avenue in the heart of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. The resilience of the human part of Lil Carlos's soul attempting to survive the darkness unleashes The Widow Maker—a psychopathic, unrelenting, serial-killing entity that has been waiting in a dark chamber of his mind since he was in the womb. Driven by an insatiable thirst for blood, along with a growing hunger to inflict pain, he leaves a very disturbing dark age calling card at each homicide scene across the Twin Cities. The unrepentant ones who have no loyalty, destroy the balance of the streets, and incite his wrath will bear his eternal mark. Swiftly, his trail of carnage stretches from the doors of Park Center High to Regions Hospital in East St. Paul, Minnesota. None that fall on his list can find refuge at any place. Lead Detective Tommy Soprano, along with his rookie partner Mike Kowalski, are in a race against time to catch a methodical killer before he strikes again and save a young man with a severe psychosis, before he is lost forever to the darkness within himself.
John Wayne Gacy (Chicago, Illinois), Jeffrey Dahmer (Milwaukee, Wisconsin), and John Lee Malvo (Washington, DC) each had their own dwelling, territory, and story with roots of old. However, even they knew well not to cross into the backyard of the Twin Cities. Lest, through their own ill-gotten behavior, they too should fall on the list of none other than . . .
The Light of Death Himself. . . The Widow Maker!"
