DEAD WOMAN CROSSING
BOOK ONE
A detective with everything to prove. A devastating murder. A town full of secrets….
Detective Kimberley King leaves her job in New York and relocates to the sleepy town of Dead Woman Crossing, Oklahoma with the hopes of bringing her daughter Jessica up close to her family, far from the bad memories the city holds. Within days of her arrival, Kimberley is called to the scene of a terrible crime: a single mother has been brutally murdered while her one-year-old daughter was sleeping nearby.
Kimberley can’t ignore the similarity of Hannah’s death to that of Katie James, a young woman who was murdered in front of her small daughter in 1905, on the banks of the same twisting creek. It seems someone is drawing inspiration from the crime. Could this killer be a copycat?
As she interviews suspects, Kimberley is met with blank faces and closed lips. In a small town, people won’t talk, and when she pursues a promising lead, her own family turn their back on her. Kimberley isn’t afraid to ask questions, but when she receives a threatening note, she realizes that, as a single mother to a young daughter, she might be putting herself dangerously in the killer’s sights…,
LAST DAY ALIVE
BOOK TWO
One hot summer’s evening, 10-year-old Piper Chase went for a bike ride. She never came home....
Detective Kimberley King knows that the first 24 hours in a missing-child investigation are the most critical, but with no witnesses, and darkness falling in the small town of Dead Woman Crossing, she begins to fear the worst. She longs to find the little girl with wide blue eyes and an infectious smile, but when her team discovers Piper’s body in a woodland clearing, lying on a bed of moss, something inside her dies.
In a town where people leave their doors unlocked, Kimberley is terrified that another little girl might be snatched, and that night she holds her own daughter tighter. Desperate to find the monster who took the life of an innocent child, Kimberley chases down all the leads she has. The summer camp counsellor, who got too close to Piper and Miley and lost his job. Piper’s shifty uncle, who arrived back in town the day she disappeared....
Then she gets a call that chills her to the bone. Miley has gone missing. Has the killer who stole one little angel just taken another?
