Synopsis

An investigative journalist on the edge. A serial killer testing his limits. What they have in common can freeze the blood.Still reeling from a personal tragedy, investigative journalist Rooker Lindström finds a grim hideaway from the world. It’s the dilapidated cabin on Minnesota’s Deer Lake bequeathed to him by his late father—one of the most notorious serial killers in the state. If the walls of this murder house could talk, they’d scream.Detective Tess Harlow needs something from Rooker only he can provide: a window into the mind of a murderer. A copycat is on the prowl, following in the footsteps of Rooker’s father. After reluctantly agreeing to take on the role of consultant, Rooker makes a chilling discovery. Every victim—five and counting—is a depraved taunt meant only for him. Rooker is not just tracking a killer playing sick games. In this brutal Minnesota winter, Rooker is confronting his past.Maybe working with Tess is Rooker’s last chance at redemption. But to outrun his father’s legacy, he must follow a darker path still to come.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Marilyn

It was THIS close to being a decent book. Characters need work and some of the descriptions were waaay out there. I think the last 40% of the book was written in a 3 hour deadline. What were the snowflake scar and 2 drunk guys in the parking lot all about? Some day I’ll give up on First Reads.......more

Page Turner I felt like I was part of this story as the author's descriptive writing caused me to envision each character and their surroundings. The twists and turns kept me on my toes attempting to discover who the serial killer truly is. I highly recommend this book to thriller-serial killer reade......more
