Book Description:
When reporter/crime writer Russell Monroe finds his former lover brutally slain in an apparently ritual style, he suspects a connection to other recent murders in the county. Somehow, the case never appears on the police blotter - although Russell saw his former colleague, homicide chief Marty Parish, leaving the scene of the crime - and soon all evidence of the death disappears. Meanwhile, a string of killings continues in the same gruesome style, and Russell becomes the contact of the deranged man responsible. As Monroe gets dangerously entangled in this deadly intrigue, he must fight for his life while watching his wife fight for hers against a terminal brain tumor.

It's a scorching California summer,and cop-turned crime writer Russ Monroe has stumbled onto the hottest story of his career. A vicious serial killer is massacring entire families, leaving once-peaceful communities paralyzed with fear.
The police are keeping the murders under wraps, and Munroe has a desperate need to know why. Because he just found the bludgeoned body of the latest victim-his beautiful ex-lover. And because the two men observed at the murder scene have become rivals for the role of prime suspect. On is Laguna Beach's homicide detective. The other is Munroe himself...
My first novel by Parker and I enjoyed it.
