The Initial Stage of Murder

When a serial killer chooses prey to torment a former cop, the clues spell more than disaster…

Saratoga Springs, New York. Cop-turned-true-crime-author Dusky Anne Wild can't resist flirting with danger. So when a ranch hand and two jockeys are found dead at a horse farm, she jumps at the opportunity to investigate. But even after discovering that all three victims were killed with the same poison, the case quickly grows cold and leaves Dusky without leads.

Called to London to help local police with another homicide investigation that's rapidly losing steam, she's horrified when she uncovers a link pointing all the way back to Saratoga. And now she fears a murderous adversary is playing a deadly game of ABC… and Dusky's positioned at the center of the charade.

Will Dusky stop the lethal ruse before the culprit adds her to the body count?
