What it is
Branches rip at her clothes as she sprints through the mist, deeper into the pine forest. In a clearing ahead a figure appears and cracks a twisted smile. The girl doesn’t even have time to turn back before her world turns dark…
When Detective Jenna Alton and her deputy, David Kane are called to the dense woods surrounding Black Rock Falls during the Halloween season, they encounter a crime scene that will haunt them for ever. Two teenagers, Avril Lampton and Hank Parker, lie beside the makeshift camp where they had planned to spend a night under the stars, their innocent eyes frozen in fear forever.
Sickened by the sight, Jenna is determined to catch whoever took these two young lives and left nothing behind but the deep pink scratches on the legs of one of the victims. And with acres of forest to search, Jenna has her work cut out for her.
Jenna hits nothing but dead ends until she gets a call that makes her heart pound. A young girl wearing a white nightgown has been seen running for her life through the same patch of woodland. With no thought for her own safety, Jenna races along the perilous mountain pass. But as the girl slips through her fingers and vanishes into the darkness of the pine trees, Jenna knows she’s just walked into a trap.
As light begins to fade and the forest closes in around her, can Jenna stay alive long enough to find the girl and put this twisted hunter behind bars?
If you love to be hooked by a totally gripping serial killer thriller, you will absolutely adore this latest book from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author D. K. Hood. Perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, Melinda Leigh and Mary Stone.
