Chase sat staring at the drawing, then looked over at Merlin, “What’s your interpretation of this,” he asked? “Ah, my interpretation of that won’t do you any good,” he said. “Sure it will, I trust your instincts and perceptions.” “That you might, Chase, but in this case that message was meant for you, and you, alone. It’s your interpretation that’s needed for your destiny,” he said, disappearing just as quickly as he had arrived. Chase moved over and studied the drawing closely, wondering what all the pieces meant. If he had looked over his shoulder, just for an instant, he would have seen the face of Merlin floating over the third pillar, smiling down at him

Chase Benton operates Serial Connections, a high tech company that utilizes both modern technology and psychics to catch serial killers. Chase and his team have state-of-the-art technology to help enhance their psychic abilities to solve crimes. Some of the team’s abilities, especially Chase’s have deep spiritual roots.
“Serial Connections” truly kept me sitting on the edge of my seat as I read it. Mark De Binder doesn’t just torture you with a story about one evil serial killer; he takes you into the dark worlds of three of them. The method that the serial killers use to silence their victims is always painful and gruesome. The action in this story is nonstop. I found myself unable to put the book down because I had to see what would happen next, and, I was dying to know who all of the people were that were involved.
“Serial Connections” is definitely a book that will be enjoyed by Thriller Fans. De Binder has developed a complex plot that will stretch your imagination into areas you might not want it to go. That’s what makes it so fun. The incorporation of technology, psychic ability and spirituality makes the plot so much more exciting because it allows the characters to move beyond the mundane world. I cannot wait to read forthcoming books in this series.
“Serial Connections” is a five-star thriller.

A thoroughly entertaining, highly recommended read.

Warning: Do not read before you go to bed!
I have a hate/love relationship with books like this. I hate to read them because they haunt my mind for days. I love to read them because they are a page turner. All I can say is: oih vey!!!

Well, I can say more. Mark De Binder is a great story teller. It makes me wonder if he himself was ever trapped in the spirit world - it sure seems like he knows what that world is. I also wonder if he was ever trapped in any other world, besides the spirit world because the story line comes to life like non other I have ever read. Or...he has a great imagination.
