About this listen
A killer who turns art into murder. A small town with big secrets. Game, set, match.
When the body of a woman is discovered by a river in Oak Creek, local police quickly dismiss the case as an accidental death, believing she died in a fishing accident years before, having only now emerged from the riverbed.
Brought in from Chicago to help with the case, Detective Charlotte Dawes has worked on more murder investigations than she’d like to remember. A quick examination of the body tells her what local police refuse to see–somebody moved the victim to this remote location after keeping her elsewhere.
When a local artist is found murdered, her body positioned to match one of her final paintings, the sinister truth can’t be ignored. Somebody is targeting the residents of Oak Creek. What’s more, in a disturbing twist, the artist’s other paintings seem to predict who in the small town will be next to die, in increasingly macabre ways.
When Charlotte finds a link between the victim and a local cop, it’s clear the killer has planned their moves meticulously. In a town filled with secrets, Charlotte must determine who's truly playing on her side, before the killer claims their next victim…
