An investigative journalist on the edge. A serial killer testing his limits. What they have in common can freeze the blood.

Still reeling from a personal tragedy, investigative journalist Rooker Lindström finds a grim hideaway from the world. It’s the dilapidated cabin on Minnesota’s Deer Lake bequeathed to him by his late father—one of the most notorious serial killers in the state. If the walls of this murder house could talk, they’d scream.

Detective Tess Harlow needs something from Rooker only he can provide: a window into the mind of a murderer. A copycat is on the prowl, following in the footsteps of Rooker’s father. After reluctantly agreeing to take on the role of consultant, Rooker makes a chilling discovery. Every victim—five and counting—is a depraved taunt meant only for him. Rooker is not just tracking a killer playing sick games. In this brutal Minnesota winter, Rooker is confronting his past.

Maybe working with Tess is Rooker’s last chance at redemption. But to outrun his father’s legacy, he must follow a darker path still to come.

Loved it!!

Too wordy, nothing new, slow, I didn't like it . Not Michel Connolly. I loved the poet, and every book after it. Disappointing, thought maybe a new author perhaps a good book finally.

Not The Poet

A couple gruesome scenes to skip through, but this book held my attention well and offered a strong sense of setting. Narration was well done.

Dark, graphic in places but good mystery

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I enjoyed the subtle twists and turns. I wasn't out of breath or anxious. For me, there was just enough suspense to keep me reading, but, not lose sleep.

Suspenseful story line!

Well done

I got to the end of this book and immediately went to find other books written by him. I forgot that this was his first.
Pete, tell me you are working on another book!
This book takes the prize for twists and turns and an ending I did NOT see coming.
Really great character development.
I listen to my books so I can do my art at the same time. The performance was great as well.
I hope this author writes more. The perfect balance of mystery, thriller, relationships, a bit of sex that was left more to the imagination than it be over explicit.
My kind of book!

Keep Writing! I want more.
