**Each Kane and Alton book can be read as part of the series or as a standalone**
Description
Shivering by her broken-down car at midnight, she’s relieved when a passer-by finally stops and offers her a ride. But her heart pounds as she hears the locks click shut. They’re going the wrong way. Rooted to the spot with fear, she looks into his dark eyes, as he laughs wildly…
When a car belonging to Black Rock Falls’ much-loved bartender Maisy Jones is found abandoned on an ice-covered road outside of town, Sheriff Jenna Alton and her deputy David Kane are called in. The exhaust has been tampered with, which can only mean one thing: someone wanted Maisy stranded on that isolated road…
Finding a red backpack on the same perilous stretch of highway, Jenna hopes it will contain clues to Maisy’s whereabouts. But the debit cards inside belong to local teaching assistant, Billy Stevens. He didn’t show up for work that day. Billy too has vanished into thin air.
Jenna needs to find Maisy and Billy fast, but her frantic search only throws up another missing person. Canvassing the small town festooned with Christmas lights, Jenna has the impossible task of tracking down a twisted murderer plucking victims from their everyday lives and leaving no trace.
Almost giving up hope, she makes a sickening discovery in the church at the center of town, one that sends shockwaves through the tight-knit community. Everyone is afraid to let their loved ones out of sight. But how many more innocent lives must be lost before Jenna can catch the killer among them?
5 STARS (This one will rock you)
I just HAVE to give this story 5 Stars on Amazon because it was SO well written. Creepy when it comes to the murder but so different too. But thankfully there were also some really GOOD people in the story. Dave (often spoken of as Kane) and Jenna definitely fall into that category. One of my favorite things that made me smile? The question that Jenna asked Dave when
they were making breakfast. She asked if he needed her to burn the
toast. Their relationship was a surprise but one that I really enjoyed. They made a great team, in so many ways.
The story had really good world building. The addition of Duke and Zorro (the dogs) was great. Duke was trained to track people and Zorro was trained to detect explosives. Speaking of good people, that includes Carter, Jo, Wolf, Rio, Rowley, Bobby Kahlo, to mention a few. I will say that I had to pay attention to keep the people straight. So, that was one bit of downside but it was worth it.
Everything comes to a stunning conclusion. And I mean STUNNING!!!!
My last thought ended up being, "What would you do to stay alive?"
