Book Description
Max Prey, a former Chicago police detective, resigned his position and became the police chief of a small Wisconsin town to be near his wife's family. A year after her passing, he yearned to return to his former life, when a grisly murder rocked the town. When the victim turned out to be the latest victim of a mass murderer, Max was offered the opportunity of being the lead investigator by the FBI. Barely into his investigation, Max was surprised when one of his office workers, the vivacious and alluring Jackie Nielsen, followed a hunch and dug up a clue that put them on the trail of the killer. Max eagerly pursued the lead, which landed him in a creepy nearby town, where it became evident that he was not welcome. After unearthing long-buried secrets, Max found himself under attack just as Jackie showed up, putting both their lives in danger. Undeterred, they continued their investigation, questioning the many strange inhabitants of this town, realizing that any of them could be the killer. Thrust together by the threats from the shadows, their desire for each other grew. Max fought against his desire for her, fearing it would once again force him to choose between love and career. Will Max resist the lure of Jackie? Can they stop the killer before he kills again? Can they get out of this town alive?
