She walked through the cabin, across the gleaming hardwood floor, past the beautiful fireplace and luxury kitchen. The view overlooking the lake was breathtaking until she stepped outside and saw the lifeless body in the chair - a silk scarf wrapped tightly around his throat, his gray eyes wide open.
FBI Agent Susan Parker's fun afternoon go-karting with her daughter is interrupted when she's called to the crime scene of a wealthy local man murdered in his home.
As she delves into his life, she discovers the man belonged to an exclusive yet sinister Murder Club obsessed with the mysterious 'Clothesline killer.' The previous victims were all single mothers being investigated for suspected neglect who bore the same chilling hallmark - each was strangled in her bed at night by a masked figure.
But the Murder Club aren't the only ones who have been tracking his every move...
A local pizza delivery girl has been closely following the cases and building her own investigative report. Though dismissed as isolated crimes before, Susan unravels a shocking trail of clues from the girl's scrapbook that lead to the forgotten women and orphaned children left in the killer's wake.
Then another member of the club is found dead in his ranchhouse.
Determined to silence those who get in his way, and with his sights now set on Susan, can she stop him before she and her family fall prey to this elusive killer?
A gripping and heart-racing keep-you-up-all-night thriller that will have fans of Robert Dugoni, Gregg Olsen and Lisa Regan absolutely hooked.
Can be read as a standalone.
