== Plots == === ''Level 26: Dark Origins'' === Law enforcement personnel quantify evil and murderousness on a scale of 1 to 25, with naive opportunists at Level 1 and organized, premeditated torture-murderers at Level 25. An elite investigative unit, headed by reluctant operative Steve Dark, must track down the killer who is forming a new category.

=== ''Level 26: Dark Prophecy'' === As a result of the events in the previous book, Steve Dark has crossed the line and considers himself no longer bound by the law in his pursuit of "level 26" killers.

=== ''Level 26: Dark Revelations'' === Steve Dark faces a killer named Labyrinth, who uses riddles, puzzles, and wordplay to announce his targets ahead of time.
