Cruel Intent (Abridged‪)‬

From New York Times bestselling author J.A. Jance comes a chilling tale of suspense, where a cold-blooded murderer lures former newscaster Ali Reynolds into a chilling web of online romance—and doom.

During an all-consuming remodel on her home, the last thing Ali Reynolds expects is a murder investigation. But when the savagely mutilated body of a stay-at-home mom is found, Ali’s contractor Logan is the prime suspect. He swears he has nothing to do with his wife’s murder—but as the investigation progresses, Ali seems to be the only resident in Sedona who believes him.

Determined to prove Logan’s innocence, Ali unknowingly lands herself directly in the path of a calculating killer. In a world filled with encrypted computer traps and life-threatening lies, will Ali be able to decode the actions of a ruthless man determined to destroy women—before he uses his wicked website to find her?
