A Liar's Grave - Sigmore, Alex

. .

Résumé :
A Hand Reaches up from the Grave... Special Agent Emily Slate has faced her share of demons, but never has one been so personal. When a cryptic letter arrives on her doorstep written in her dead mother's handwriting, Emily discovers she isn't prepared to face the consequences of what it might really mean. Desperate for a distraction, she takes the first case that will get her out of town: a mysterious death in a quaint New Hampshire skiing town. But as soon as she and her partner Zara arrive, they realize this is going to be their most challenging case yet. A killer is taking a new victim every Saturday night, their bodies left in elaborate, gruesome displays. There's no pattern, no connection-only a growing body count and no way to predict who's next. With each passing day, the pressure mounts, and Emily finds herself battling not only a twisted mind but ghosts of her own past. As they dig deeper into the case, Emily and Zara must face a web of lies, secrets, and dangers they never anticipated. But when they finally uncover the truth behind these gruesome murders, Emily is forced to make a choice that will haunt her forever: Stop the killer before they strike again-or allow them to finish what they've started, even though it goes against everything Emily has sworn to uphold. Unearth the truth in A Liar's Grave. *** Kicking off a thrilling new era in the Amazon bestselling Emily Slate series, Book 8 plunges a gritty female detective duo into a chilling winter thriller.
