Publisher Description
A true crime author turns to a reclusive tech whiz to help stop a copycat serial killer in this romantic thriller by the New York Times bestselling author.
A serial killer is targeting prostitutes and runaways—the sort of women no one would notice were missing if not for the photographs of their lifeless bodies, posed in the back of a semi-trailer. It’s all disturbingly similar to the infamous Trucker murders. But this isn’t just a copycat. It’s a vendetta.
Carmen Jacobs interviewed the world’s most terrifying serial killers for her bestselling book, The Heart of a Predator. The police might not believe her, but she knows there’s a monster out there, paying homage to other murderers. The only person who can predict where he’ll strike next is reclusive software millionaire Griffin Archer—a man with ample reason not to help Carmen.
Carmen has charmed her way past Griffin’s defenses before. He didn’t intend to let it happen again. But with a psycho sending her gruesome trophies, Griffin has no choice but to get involved. The clues point to a killer who knows Carmen’s work, her past, and her secrets—someone determined to make all her deepest fears come true . . .
“Ivy deftly charts a course between gruesome suspense and sudden romance.”—Publishers Weekly
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ivy's newest contemporary romantic thriller (following Pretend You're Safe) begins ominously in an isolated cabin in the Rocky Mountains, where Carmen Jacobs has escaped for the Christmas holidays. It's supposed to be a place to relax and unwind from the year of interviews and appearances following the launch of her bestselling book profiling serial killers. Carmen isn't expecting any intrusions, so when an express envelope lands on her doorstep she hesitates, but opens it anyway. The disturbing photos that fall out suggest that someone is copying the work of a killer she profiled. She runs to the police, only to be rebuffed. That's when she turns to Griffin Archer tech whiz, part owner of a company specializing in law enforcement software, and serious hottie hoping that he will take her theory of a copycat killer seriously. Ivy deftly charts a course between gruesome suspense and sudden romance as Carmen and Griff race to solve the whodunit before the predator kills again.
