Publisher's Synopsis

A tense and topical thriller featuring crime writer Molly Cates, whose search for the truth behind her own bestseller leads to grisly killings in gripping detail.

Eleven years ago, women driving on the desert interstates were terrified by the thought of breaking down and falling victim to the Texas Scalper. But now he's safely behind bars, and one-time barber Louie Bronk is sentenced to die within the week for his final and most famous murder - that of Austin socialite Tiny McFarland.
Investigative reporter Molly Cates has just published Sweating Blood, the Louie Bronk story. So why is Tiny's husband Charlie trying to bribe her to stay off the final episode - the actual execution? Did Bronk confess to something he didn't do? Should he be executed at all? Time is running out. And then the copycat murders begin.

The original Harper Brothers Company was established in New York City in 1817 and over the years published the works of Mark Twain, the Bronte Sisters, Thackeray, Dickens, John F Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. In 1987, Harper & Row, as it had then become, was acquired by News Corporation.
