"Thrilling romantic suspense leaves you guessing until the end."

Savannah cop Pierce Reed has been called in on the case of an insane serial killer. The murderer, who buries his victims alive, seems to have a personal interest/connection to Pierce.

Reporter Nikki Gillette senses the case could make her career and dogs Pierce as he investigates the grizzly murders. It becomes obvious that the killer also has an interest in Nikki. Pierce finds himself not only racing against time to stop a madman from killing again, but he also must protect the woman he's fast falling in love with from becoming the next victim.

This thriller leaves you guessing all the way through. The killer is almost impossible to discern, and you'll be working right along with Pierce and Nikki as they try to identify him and figure out his motive (good luck there!). In the style of Iris Johansen, Tami Hoag and Beverly Barton, Jackson is making her mark in the genre of romantic suspense.
