About this listen

From the winner of the CWA’s Debut Dagger Award.

Two victims. Twenty years apart. One elusive killer.

Crescent Bluff, West Texas. Everybody knows everybody. And everybody has a secret.

When a boy is found dead with the skin of a hare’s head in his hand, everyone knows who killed him—Willis Newland, just released from prison after serving twenty years for an identical murder.

But what if everyone’s wrong?

Detective Colly Newland reluctantly agrees to investigate a case that seems to involve the whole town, including her dead husband’s extended family. But the deeper she digs, the more secrets she unearths. And as threats against her escalate, Colly realizes someone is willing to kill to keep theirs…

Incredible debut novel!

This was a really great debut novel, and I'll certainly be looking for more from Sherry Rankin in the future. Detective Colly doesn't know what she's in for as she attempts to find the clues to stop a serial killer. Especially amongst a town of people who already have a distaste for her due to a past mistake that cost her her family. She'll be lucky to make it out alive herself with what she's up against.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
