KILL ME ONCE
Arrow/Random House UK – January 20, 2011 At a tender and vulnerable young age, FBI Special Agent Dana Whitestone, tough and driven but haunted and consumed with hiding her secret dysfunctions, witnessed the brutal murders of her beautiful and loving parents. Her idyllic childhood instantly shattered, the loss was crushing and drove her towards a determined and deeply personal mission to fight the most evil and twisted criminals, an ultimate obsession that has taken over her life. An isolated alcoholic, she lives for her work, but this always masterfully expert investigator is stumped by her latest case—a sadistic serial killer who mocks her every step, and with immaculate precision, compulsively covers his own. This mad sociopath, a murderous butcher, makes no mistakes. His calling cards reveal nothing about who he is—rather, they recall the actions of others. What at first appears to be the work of a copy-cat soon evolves into an explosive game of cat and mouse, a shockingly personal battle between an agent with an agenda and a brilliantly demented killer with an axe to grind and a mess to clean up. Dana must force the hand of the crazed perfectionist she trails, whose capture rests solely on a chance mistake.
Praise for KILL ME ONCE “Terrifying, suspenseful and genuinely original, Kill Me Once will chill you to the bone.“—Karin Slaughter, author of Broken |
