The Doll Collector

by Edward Jakubik

Overview

Enter Special Crimes Unit Detective Beck McManus and his hunt for the Doll Collector. Six little girls, each about to turn 7-years old, go missing in broad daylight without a trace. McManus and his long-time partner, Evan Graves, are tapped to head the investigation despite virulent protests from the police commissioner, who cites McManus' own daughter's kidnapping three years prior as evidence of his unsuitability. That case was never solved, and his daughter's disappearance nearly cost Beck his career—and his sanity.

About the Author

When Ed Jakubik first read Red Dragon by Thomas Harris in the summer of 1987, he immediately knew that he wanted to write a novel. Drawing upon his life experience coupled with a vivid imagination, Ed set out over a ten year period to pen his first novel, The Doll Collector, a psychological thriller written in the vein of works from his literary heroes like Harris, William Diehl, and Stephen King.

Ed grew up in Bayonne, NJ— a neighborhood that was more impressed with how far you could hit a stickball rather than how creative you could be. Luckily, he was cognizant of the 'signs' his higher power set forth and he began his journey. Ed has enjoyed a successful sales career for over a decade which helped mold a tenacious, never back down attitude towards his true passion— writing.

Ed and his wife, Maria, have two children; Jack and Lily. They reside in Spring Lake, NJ. Ed is a graduate of Castelton State College where, in 1995, he received his Bachelor of Science degree. Ed is also a proud graduate of St. Peter’s Prep of Jersey City, NJ.
