| Storyline

| Tagline

Terrorising the American Midwest, a prolific serial killer is targeting the small-time criminals law enforcement has long since ignored.

To some, he is an avenging angel, the embodiment of societal frustration at the normalisation of petty crime; to others, a terrorist bent on death and chaos.

Conflict between supporters and critics of the PPK’s crusade drive a new wedge through a nation scarred by partisan antipathy.

As rival factions become increasingly unstable, violence spills out onto the streets, triggering fears of civil war.

When the President places their political agenda above the capture of the Porch Pirate Killer, a final, devastating attack becomes inevitable.

Are The Porch Pirate Killer's Actions Justified?

The world stands divided over author Issac Grey Lambert’s uncompromising new thriller The Porch Pirate Killer. Are the actions of the killer justified in today’s dire economy?

Porch pirates, the scourge of so many American neighbourhoods, have plundered, seemingly unrestrained since the rise of internet shopping. But in today’s unprecedented cost-of-living crisis, petty crimes have escalated almost to the point of normalcy.

In The Porch Pirate Killer, an ordinary citizen unleashes a vicious, bloody retribution on these criminals, with far-ranging consequences, plunging an entire nation into internecine conflict.

If someone were to steal from you, how far would you go?

"An ordinary citizen unleashes a vicious, bloody retribution on petty criminals, with far-ranging consequences, plunging an entire nation into internecine conflict."

"Readers are in bitter opposition over the actions of the Porch Pirate Killer. Some applaud the killer’s actions, seeing justice delivered, however brutally so. Others see only a murderer, regardless of the justification."

Issac Grey Lambert is optimistic about the future, and fiction allows us to think through the ramifications of our collective actions before we get there.

Issac is a writer, musician, and artist. He is the author of the Bloody Colony book series, blending visions of the future of human colonisation with tales of hubris, greed, and arrogance. Issac's latest release, "The Porch Pirate Killer" is now available.

His executive editor, a local cat who drops by to supervise his writing efforts, is almost certainly using mind control to ensure a steady supply of fishy treats.

Issac's books are available exclusively on Amazon Books.
