Publisher's Synopsis
A Jane Doe hanging in Maple Valley's woods.
Officer Dean Matheson stands shivering against the cold night, trying not to look too closely at the gruesome scene before him.
The medical examiner says it's a case of suicide. But the fact that the victim isn't wearing any shoes and there's a stepladder placed beneath her makes Dean suspicious.
Then another body turns up.
Women are dying. Outcasts that no one would miss.
Dean believes a twisted serial killer is roaming the streets of Maple Valley, hiding in plain sight.
But he's in over his head, and now he's put a target on his own back. Trapped in a vicious game of cat-and-mouse with a killer who seems to know his every flaw.
Dean must face his own demons if he has any chance of unearthing the disturbing truth. Before more women pay the price . . .
This pulse-pounding and unputdownable read is perfect for fans of Melinda Leigh, D.S. Butler, Charlie Donlea, Lisa Regan, Helen Phifer or Matt Brolly.
