serial murderers

"On a snowy December night, single mother Rebecca Carter drives her van into a snowbank to avoid hitting an elk on a desolate Colorado mountain highway. She is at the end of her rope, out of money and food; her adolescent daughter, Moonflower, is on the run from a grisly secret, and the last thing they can afford is to be remembered by anyone they meet. As Rebecca tries to dig her van out of the snow, a man in a pickup truck stops and offers her a tow. Rebecca declines, but this chance encounter with a stranger will destroy the life she has fought so hard to hold together. Now her worst fears come to life as she is caught between a ravenous predator and a fate worse than death. Rebecca would die to protect her daughter, but dying wouldn't be enough to satisfy this monster . . . On the other side of the country, FBI agent Marc Donner has a break in a serial killer case he has been tracking for two years"--Provided by publisher.

"Another girl has gone missing in Cardinal Creek. Sid knows their dad didn't do it--this time. He's currently serving a life sentence for the five girls he murdered ten years ago. Girls whose bodies he dumped into the lake. The same lake where June Hargrove was just found. And while Sid's dad couldn't have done it, suspicion is now directed at Sid. The only person who doesn't suspect Sid is the new girl, Mavis--as long as Sid doesn't let her find out about their past. But Sid has another secret: They're being haunted by the ghosts of the five girls their father killed. Except now there are six. And unlike the others, June isn't content to just whisper in Sid's ear. She wants them to find out who's killing again, especially as another girl goes missing. If Sid wants any chance of solving the current disappearances, they're going to have to face what their father did--or risk being haunted forever"--Provided by publisher.

"Detective Kim Mager, a real-life version of Clarice Starling, reveals how she closed in on--and broke--one of Ohio's most infamous serial killers. On September 13, 2016, in the small town of Ashland, Ohio, emergency dispatchers received a 911 call from a terrified woman who claimed to be kidnapped. The man holding her hostage was Shawn Grate, a serial killer whom the press later dubbed 'The Ladykiller.' A key to his conviction and death sentence were Grate's extensive recorded confessions--all extracted by one woman: Detective Kim Mager. As an experienced specialist in sex offenses, Detective Mager was one of the officers assigned to Grate's case upon his arrest. . . Over a period of eight days, Mager conducted one interview after another, risking her life by sitting alone in the interview room with a malevolent predator.
