Masterful #1 New York Times bestselling author Tami Hoag is back with a riveting, emotionally powerful new thriller!
Small-town labels are hard to shake. Hometown hero. Fallen angel. Can anyone ever escape their past?
A murder victim dumped at the dead end of a lonely country road, face and hands obliterated by a shotgun blast, is not the way sheriff's detective Nick Fourcade wants to start his week. His only lead takes him to the family of a hometown hero suddenly gone missing. Marc Mercier left his home for a weekend hunting trip and hasn't been seen since.
Meanwhile, sheriff's detective Annie Broussard begins her first day back on the job after suffering a brutal attack by taking on the case of B'Lynn Fontenot, a mother desperate to find her grown son, a recovering drug addict. Robbie Fontenot has been missing for eight days, but the local police have no interest in the case, telling B'Lynn that an adult has the right to disappear, and a missing addict is no big surprise. But B'Lynn swears her son was turning his life around. Sympathetic to a mother's anguish, Annie agrees to help B'Lynn, knowing she's about to start a turf war with the city police.
As Annie searches for Robbie Fontenot and Nick investigates the disappearance of Marc Mercier, it quickly becomes apparent that nothing is as it seems in the lives of either man. And it's still not clear whether either-or neither-of them might be the unidentified murder victim. Old jealousies and fresh deceits, family loyalties gone wrong, and love turned sour all lay a twisting trail that leads deep into the Louisiana swamp, endangering all who cross the path of a bad liar.

judge from further harm. Then Karl Dahl escapes custody, and the

mutilated body. But her obsessive search for justice lands her with
a dilemma where she must defend or accuse a fellow cop ...

Vince Leone, from Sunday Times bestselling author Tami Hoag. Three
dead women; three children each with their families under
suspicion; a community packed with secrets. And one serial killer.
On the damp, leaf-strewn ground a gruesome trophy is displayed.
It's a young woman. Although her battered body has been buried, her
head is propped on a stone like an offering, her mouth and eyes
glued shut, her eardrums destroyed. This killer has struck this
peaceful town before - and the savagery he inflicts on his victims
is increasing. Vince Leone, a pioneering FBI profiler, is called in
to try to unlock the mind of the killer - a strategy that pulls him
deep into the devastated community. Suspicions thicken, secrets
spill out and reputations shatter as Vince draws ever nearer to
evil . . . Watch out for the next title in the Oak Knoll FBI
Profiler thriller series SECRETS TO THE GRAVE
With this new thriller, "The New York Times" bestselling author
Tami Hoag delivers her own message to suspense fans everywhere:
Don't turn off the lights, and keep reading if you dare. From the
gritty streets of Los Angeles to its most protected enclaves of
prestige and power to the ruthless glamour of Hollywood, a killer
stalks his prey. A killer so merciless no one in his way is
safe--not even the innocent.
At the end of a long day battling street traffic, bike messenger
Jace Damon has one last drop to make. But en route to delivering a
package for one of L.A.'s sleaziest defense attorneys, he's nearly
run down by a car, chased through back alleys, and shot at. Only
the instincts acquired while growing up on the streets of L.A.
allow him to escape with his life--and with the package someone
wants badly enough to kill for.
Jace returns to Lenny Lowell's office only to find the cops there,
the lawyer dead, and Jace himself considered the prime suspect in
the savage murder. Suddenly he's on the run from both the cops and
a killer, and the key to saving himself and his ten-year-old
brother is the envelope he still has--which holds a message no one
wants delivered: the truth.
In a city fueled by money, celebrity, and sensationalism, the
murder of a bottom-feeding mouthpiece like Lenny Lowell won't make
the headlines. So when detectives from the LAPD's elite
robbery/homicide division show up, homicide detective Kev Parker
wants to know why. Parker is on the downhill slide of a
once-promising career, and he doesn't want to be reminded that he
used to be one of the hotshots, working cases that made instant
celebrities of everyone involved. Like the case of fading retty-boy
actor Rob Cole, accused of the brutal murder of his wife, Tricia
Crowne-Cole, daughter of one of the most powerful men in the city,
L.A.'s latest "crime of the century."
Robbery/Homicide has no reason to be looking at a dead small-time
scumbag lawyer or chasing a bike messenger...unless there's
something in it for them. Maybe Lenny Lowell had a connection to
something big enough to be killed for. Parker begins a search for
answers that will lead him to a killer--or the end of his career.
Because if there's one lesson he's learned over the years, it's
that in a town built on fantasy and fame, delivering the truth can
be deadly.
