About this ebook

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Girl Who Survived delivers a gripping novel of suspense featuring two veteran homicide detectives matching wits with a twisted serial killer lurking in the shadows of New Orleans.

There are killers so savage, so twisted, that they leave a mark not just on their victims, but on everyone who crosses their path. For Detectives Bentz and Montoya, Father John, a fake priest who used the sharpened beads of a rosary to strangle prostitutes, is one such monster.
 
Bentz thought he’d ended that horror years ago when he killed Father John deep in the swamp. But now there are chilling signs he may have been wrong. A new victim has surfaced, her ruined body staged in deliberate, unmistakable detail. Either it’s a terrifying copycat, or Father John, the detective’s own recurring nightmare, has come back to haunt New Orleans.

Another death, and another. Bentz is growing convinced that Father John isn’t just back. He’s circling closer, targeting those Bentz loves most.

And this time, he won’t be stopped until the last sinner has paid the ultimate price…

“Jackson definitely knows how to keep readers riveted.” —Mystery Scene

Ratings and reviews

The Best Book I’ve Read This Year!! I’ve been waiting for this story for years and it was so worth the wait. From start to finish this was a action packed page turner. This author has a way of creeping you out and has you looking over your shoulder. Rick Benz and Reuben Montoya are back at the top of there game. Kristi Benz is the target of a crazy killer who wants revenge for a offense only he knows. She’d always been lively—a “firecracker” or “pistol” while growing up—and reckless and head

The Queen of Suspense Has Done it Again There is nothing like the Bentz/Montoya series and this book was a great addition. This book was an “on the edge of your seat” read that made it book that was hard to put down. Bentz’s daughter, Kristi, is in the cross hairs of a psycho serial killer. They thought Father John was dead and gone but there are so many similarities that had me asking so many questions.

Excellent! Great read.
