Publisher Description
Tinker Hill Falls, 1989: A town drowning in its own blood.
U.S. Marshal Lucinda Ackerman hunts a serial arsonist through the suffocating dark of a quiet town. One night, it ends in carnage-her partner's dead, a deputy's burned beyond recognition, and the firestarter's a smoldering husk. Then the true horror unfolds: eight locals, ripped apart and dangling in the park, their guts staining the earth. Random slaughter? Not a chance.
Against orders, Lucinda joins forces with Sheriff Williams-a man haunted by the town's shadows-and a death-row inmate whose wild claims start to reek of truth. Digging into Tinker Hill's festering past, they uncover the victims' sins, each one a thread in a sickening tapestry. But when a beast tears through a bus of condemned killers, the streets flood with murderers, and the death toll climbs.
An ancient executioner stalks the guilty, its justice drenched in gore. Can Lucinda stop it before the innocent are next?
"Gruesome, relentless-a descent into small-town hell."
