About this listen
Multiple strange deaths. A smart killer. And a homicide investigator charged with tackling the case in this tense thriller.
When a modern home in High Peaks burns to the ground killing the family, it appears as if the tragic deaths were an accident. But a gut instinct tells Noah Sutherland otherwise. Days later, a family at another residence is found dead under bizarre circumstances. A coincidence, or are the two related?
As the calculating stalker dubbed The Smart Killer stays in the shadows and continues slaughtering ordinary families in their homes, the investigation shakes the small Adirondack town to the core. Once a picturesque northern getaway in Upstate New York, the county is now a gruesome scene of mass murder.
After an anonymous message is left for Hugh Sutherland, suggesting the killer might target him, the case becomes personal, and Noah must bring the murderer to justice. As Sutherland and his team struggle with zero clues and more victims dying, Noah believes the key to ending the murders may lie in secrets that some would like to keep buried.
With the killer watching, can Noah find the evidence to stop him, or will his father become the next victim?
The Smart Killer is the electrifying fourth book in the High Peaks Mystery Thriller series. These crime fiction novels are full of twists, thrills, and heart-stopping suspense. They are perfect for fans of James Patterson, David Baldacci, Michael Connelly, Lisa Jackson, Sandra Brown, Dennis Lehane, C.J. Box, LJ Ross, Harlan Coben, and Craig Johnson.

Story
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

After the killing of a prominent mob lawyer, NYPD homicide detectives Jacob Jackson and Caitlin Grimes start receive chilling, written “rules” for how to commit the perfect murder. "Rule number one for the perfect murder: Evidence is your enemy. Leave none behind." Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two. No crimes of passion. The perfect murder is always business, never pleasure.”

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.
