Dwindling Sands (The Hourglass Killer Book 1‪)‬

The Angry One wanted her; he craved her. She was like an infection in his blood which made him burn. She, with her sad eyes filled with longing…but for someone else, always someone else. She made him want to devour her. She consumed him. He wanted her like no other and she overlooked him like he was nothing. Nothing! He had tried to allow things to happen in a natural way, but continuously and recklessly she tossed his advances aside. Now was the time. Now he would have her. There is a serial rapist-killer loose in Aurora, Colorado. But each rape-murder keeps pointing back to one person. When Detective Tess Champion starts to put the pieces together, she realizes to her horror that these assaults are most likely the work of the same man who assaulted her some months earlier. But why did he let her live? The new man in Tess's life is starting to have odd connections to these murders but there's no way it can be him....is there? As the sands of the hourglass start quickly dwindling down, Tess and her partner, Anthony, must beat the clock and find this psychopath before he comes back to finish what he started.
