Overview

Stoneman Murders: True Crime Serial Killers A novel by Johann Bachmann In the suffocating heat of 1980s Calcutta, a city of immense contrasts-wealth and poverty, joy and despair-something terrifying was stalking the shadows. Between 1985 and 1989, thirteen homeless people were found brutally murdered, their skulls crushed by heavy stones. The killer was never caught. The press called him The Stoneman. The city called him a ghost. But the fear he left behind was real-and unforgettable. In this haunting literary crime thriller, Johann Bachmann reimagines the unsolved Stoneman murders through the eyes of those who lived in fear and fought for justice. At its center is Detective Prasun Mukherjee, a weary but determined officer caught in a corrupt and indifferent system. As the body count rises, Mukherjee must navigate a city unraveling under fear, battling institutional apathy, political pressure, and his own growing obsession with the case. But this is more than just a detective story. Told through multiple perspectives-survivors, witnesses, and victims-Stoneman Murders exposes the chilling vulnerability of those living on society's margins. The voices of Anil Das, a street vendor who hears the killing but fears speaking out, and Ramu, a boy who miraculously survives an attack, give emotional depth to the novel's investigation of violence, poverty, and systemic neglect. Combining the atmospheric depth of a historical mystery with the urgency of true crime, this novel explores: A terrifying real-life crime that still haunts Indian history The social invisibility of the homeless and marginalized A detective's desperate pursuit of justice in a broken system The psychological impact of fear on an entire city The unrelenting tension between truth, silence, and survival Whether you're a fan of true crime, literary thrillers, or gritty urban noir, Stoneman Murders will grip you from its chilling first scene to its unforgettable conclusion.

Author Information

Johann Bachmann is a multidisciplinary author whose diverse body of work explores the intricate terrain of the human experience through psychology, philosophy, cultural anthropology, and sharp-witted satire. Drawing from academic foundations and lived insight, Bachmann crafts narratives that range from meditative explorations of the psyche to biting critiques of modern society. With works such as Reclaiming Yourself: Overcoming Trauma with CBT, The Human Condition, and The Modern Man, Bachmann demonstrates a deep commitment to personal growth, emotional resilience, and the evolving dynamics of identity in a rapidly shifting world. His approach is marked by clarity, compassion, and intellectual rigor, making complex psychological and sociological concepts accessible and deeply relatable. In titles like Angels & Demons and The Book of the Dead, he delves into the symbolic and mythological dimensions of the human soul, weaving Jungian archetypes and cross-cultural beliefs into a rich tapestry of introspection and spiritual inquiry. These works speak to readers who are not only curious about the world but also courageously engaged in their own inner journeys. Bachmann's satirical works, including The Capitalist Manifesto, Money & Greed Again: The Adventures of President Ronald Grump, and The Joe Rogain Conspiracy Special, reveal a different dimension of his voice-one that is unafraid to challenge, parody, and expose the absurdities of contemporary power, media, and cultural myth-making. His humor is both irreverent and incisive, offering readers laughter wrapped in social commentary. What unites all of Johann Bachmann's writing is a deep reverence for the questions that shape our lives: What does it mean to be human? How do we find meaning in suffering? What do our myths, systems, and stories reveal about us? Whether addressing the silent wounds of trauma or the loud chaos of politics, Bachmann's work invites readers to think critically, feel deeply, and engage authentically with the world and with themselves. Johann Bachmann continues to write, research, and explore from his home base, where psychology meets storytelling and satire meets sincerity. His books serve as both mirrors and maps-for those seeking understanding in the noise and silence of modern life.
