Publisher's Synopsis
In the arms of the enemy . . . A guest at the Briarwood Hotel was stabbed multiple times. Then, the manager is killed in a similar gruesome manner. The only clue is the message HAD TO DIE scrawled on the bathroom mirror. Sheriff Regan Fallon's quiet town is quickly becoming a bloodbath. When skeletons begin to turn up in heavily wooded areas, he begins to think a serial killer has once again begun to murder the innocent. Fallon soon discovers the dead speak for themselves, that the past cannot stay buried. The new hotel manager has secrets of her own. Escaping from the witness protection program meant to safeguard her, but endangering her life more than before, Kylene Domiani strikes out on her own. The Briarwood Hotel is a dream job, but swiftly turns into a nightmare. Is she next on the killer's list, simply for being the manager? Can she take comfort in the arms of a lawman she doesn't know, who could easily discover her true identity, and perhaps deliver her into the hands of a drug lord who wants her dead?
