Description

American Predator meets Harlan Coben in this taut, ticking clock thriller in which women are being kidnapped and murdered in a remote corner of Alaska. When the body of a barista is found in the once-pristine Alaskan snow, Anchorage homicide detective DeHavilland Beans is gutted to recognize the frozen corpse. He'd bought coffee from her stand every morning, and knew her as a bright young college student working her way through school. Devastated by the murder-and by the life cut short-Beans vows to find the young woman's killer at all costs. Even with the assistance of wildlife expert Raisa Ingalls, Beans' ex, scavengers have done too much damage to the barista's body to get any usable evidence. When the body of another barista is found, the alarming signs of a serial killer emerge, and the FBI joins the hunt. A third body is found untouched except for an arrow wound to the chest, finally revealing the method of murder. With few clues and even less hope, Beans is already desperate to find the killer when yet another woman goes missing. With the murderer moving so quickly, Beans and Raisa are determined to stop the spree and catch the serial killer before it's too late. Pulse-pounding and vividly depicted, this remote Alaskan thriller will electrify fans of Lisa Gardner and true crime junkies fascinated by the Israel Keyes case.
