Publisher Description
She glances around as she locks the café door behind her. It’s growing dark and the quiet street is deserted. Tired, she starts on her short walk home. She thinks she’ll be safe inside within minutes, but the person watching from the shadows has other plans for her tonight…
When the body of a young woman is discovered in a local playground in the center of Black Rock Falls, Sheriff Jenna Alton and her deputy David Kane rush to the scene. Jenna recoils with horror when she sees the body, dressed in a thin nightgown, her face covered by a terrifying Halloween mask.
When the body is examined, red puncture marks are uncovered along her spine. Jenna makes a connection with a cold case where the killer tortured young women for years and was never caught. If the murderer has started killing again, Jenna knows it’s only a matter of time before another body is found.
Days later, when another victim lays slumped against the fence of a local landfill site, with the same puncture wounds and macabre mask, Jenna’s fears are confirmed. A serial killer is back in town and they’re picking off women one by one.
Then, as a third body is found, Jenna finally gets the breakthrough she needs. Dirt found underneath the women’s fingernails leads to a dangerous cave network in the mountains outside town. And once Jenna ventures into the dark, winding underground tunnels, will she find the person responsible for the deaths and take them down, or has she just walked into the killer’s trap?
Fans of Lisa Regan, Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot will be gripped by this crime thriller from USA Today bestselling author D.K. Hood. Prepare to stay up all night!
**Each Kane and Alton book can be read as part of the series or as a standalone**

Kiss Her Goodnite
Best series I’ve ever read action friendship love the works. Can’t beat it
High Intensity Murder Mystery
Here we are on Book #15 of the Jenna Alton and Dave Kane series, and the roller coaster ride just keeps getting wilder and wilder. As one character notes, "welcome to psychopath central", Black Rock Falls -where the hits just keep on coming.
This one starts off with a body and a wedding, and things get hairy right from the start. The body is an unidentified female who's been recently killed in the most brutal of manners - and right off the bat (pardon the pun) Jenna and Dave (along with Jo Wells, Ty Carter, Shane Wolfe and company) know they might be heading into another killing season. But first, good things happen - and then they go horribly wrong.
Ms. Hood has managed with this one to introduce us to a new psychopathy - a killer who might just be happily married with children, and manages to keep his family in the dark while continuing his spree.
The pace of this one is just as hectic as usual, and along the way we are further educated in the ways of serial murderers, thanks to the incredibly gifted Jo Wells, whose profiles are always on the mark.
The question of the day is: will we ever find out what happened to Poppy?
The book never lets up in intensity, as the bodies begin to pile up - but suddenly something changes completely, allowing the team to finally get a handle on the perpetrator - and the hunt begins.
Highly recommended, but strongly suggest you read the previous books in the series to truly understand what's happening in Black Rock Falls.
