Bridgewater State University Professor publishes new Crime Thriller, "Hurting Girls"

LAKEVILLE, Mass. - Aug. 15, 2014 - PRLog -- Having written numerous scholarly articles and currently teaching university

level courses on the topic of violence against women, Kim Mac Innis, a

Bridgewater State University Professor of Sociology and a Lakeville, MA

resident, has brought further life to the subject via a crime thriller

entitled "Hurting Girls".

Published by Outskirts Press, Inc., the 296 pages page turner, Hurting Girls

can be purchased on Amazon.com - $17.95 for hard copy book and $9.95 for the

E-book.

Fast paced, the thriller focuses on girls who are being hurt all over the

city.  Suddenly the very men hurting them are dying one by one.  Someone is

playing vigilante.

Professor Theresa Lane has deep concern for these girls but no sympathy

whatsoever for the men who hurt them.  She's glad they are dead.  She hopes

more die.  Theresa and her husband Jake both teach at the local university.

Theresa is a criminologist and Jake, an English Professor.  Theresa is not

quiet about her support for the vigilante and Jake becomes increasingly

concerned about her dark thoughts and rage directed at the men who are being

killed.

As more killings occur, Detective Dana Blades and Theresa cross paths.

Although Detective Blades has no leads, he is determined to stop the killer

and asks Theresa for help.  Vigilante justice is not the answer, according

to Blades.  As he investigates the cases, he discovers another side of

himself that he never knew existed and he begins to understand the war

against women and the violence they endure every day.

Will this get in the way of catching the killer?   Will Theresa help or

hinder the investigation?
