Overview

A gruesome countdown relentlessly advances toward a killer's final mark: Rachel Ryder. ""The tension ramps up till the last pages..."" --First Clue Detective Rachel Ryder and her partner Rob Bishop have seen their fair share of brutal crimes in Hamby, Georgia--but nothing like this. Chilling photos of the dead arrive at the police department, the victims eerily preserved in white robes from an exclusive Atlanta hotel. Their faces are obscured. Their locations: a mystery. With no clear jurisdiction and no obvious connection between the victims, the case is already a challenge. Desperate for leads, the department goes public, casting Rachel as the face of their plea for information. As the inevitable media firestorm erupts, it draws attention from all sides--including the one they fear the most. And when a suitcase appears on Bishop's doorstep, a corpse inside, it's clear the killer has made their reply. This time, there's no mystery about the message. Pinned to the victim's robe is a chilling note: Rachel's next. Then the bodies begin appearing--one after another, packed into suitcases and left in plain sight. Each one is a warning. Each one is part of a countdown. And if Rachel wants to catch the killer... she'll have to lure them out herself. Dive into the next electrifying chapter of USA Today bestselling author Carolyn Ridder Aspenson's Rachel Ryder series, where the search for justice turns into a terrifying game of survival. _______________________ Praise for Carolyn Ridder Aspenson and the Rachel Ryder series: ""Detective Rachel Ryder is smart, tough, and fearless--readers will gladly follow her through every twist."" --LynDee Walker, Amazon Charts bestselling author of Fear No Truth ""Tight writing, unexpected twists, and the tough but vulnerable lead Detective Rachel Ryder will leave you eager to read the next book..."" --Susan Hunter, author of Dangerous Habits ""Rachel Ryder is a new heroine on the suspense scene that you'll want to engage with again and again."" --Kimberly Charleston, Books Uplift
