Publisher's Synopsis
Have you ever wondered how an ordinary person could know and interact with a serial killer and not know it until it was too late? The Farm, book one in The Secrets in the Heartland series, centers on the disappearance of Kelsey Learner, a seemingly ordinary midwestern single mom.
When Kelsey goes missing, no one even notices for almost two days. Detectives Kass Minor and Mitch Leet zero in on two suspects, Joe Learner, Kelsey's ex-husband, and Helen Hann, Kelsey's boss's wife. Joe has little contact with Kelsey or their daughter Claire and seems unconcerned when he finds out Kelsey is missing. Detectives quickly learn that Joe is lying to them. Meanwhile, looking into Kelsey's last known movements, Minor and Leet realize that Helen Hann has developed an unhealthy obsession with her. These two suspects may hold the key to finding Kelsey but is the obvious always the right answer?
Parallel to the investigation into Kelsey's disappearance, a pair of serial killers are murdering in the area for what they perceive to be a higher good. Police have yet to connect their victims and, in some cases, even know they are missing. Is Kelsey their latest victim, or is it a coincidence that a serial killer couple is on the loose and Kelsey has vanished?
Are Kelsey's disappearance and the serial killer's mission connected, or is their convergence just an eerie coincidence?
