From the bestselling author of A Killer's Wife comes the thrilling
first installment in the Shepard & Gray series, featuring a young
sheriff who teams up with a former prosecutor to stop a copycat
killer.
This is Reaper speaking.
So begins an anonymous letter published in a Utah newspaper after a
young couple is viciously murdered. Tooele County sheriff Elizabeth Gray
leads the investigation into the double homicide, which is eerily
reminiscent of a string of brutal killings years ago. When the letter
leads detectives to yet another body, Gray calls on an old friend for
help.
Former prosecutor Solomon Shepard is still struggling to recover from
the deadly courtroom attack that ended his career. He's been keeping a
safe distance from the action, teaching criminology seminars about
serial murders and psychopathology--until Gray asks for his help on the
Reaper case.
As the body count mounts, Shepard and Gray race to unravel the deranged
design of a copycat killer--and find themselves in a face-off with an
enemy they never saw coming.
