“Dead Certain”
Three devious prisoners vow murderous revenge. Now the second is free.
With her stalker captured, antiques dealer Amanda Crosby can finally sleep at night. Having worked hard to put the nightmare behind her, Amanda has vowed to never be a victim again.
But when her business partner, Derek England, is found with a bullet through the back of his head just hours after she left an incriminating message on his voice mail, Amanda finds herself in danger of becoming a victim of another sort.
All the evidence points to Amanda as Derek’s killer, and Chief of Police Sean Mercer is building the case against her. But when another of her colleagues is found brutally murdered, it’s obvious that someone other than Amanda is behind the killings.
Suddenly Amanda is a target once again, as a diabolical killer circles ever closer—and the only thing that stands between her and becoming the third and final victim is the man who had tried to put her behind bars. . .

A nine-year veteran of the FBI, special agent Mia Shields thinks she’s seen it all.
But nothing
prepares her for the terror that descends upon the idyllic bayside
community of St. Dennis, on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, where a depraved
killer has left a grisly surprise for Chief of Police Gabriel Beck: the
body of an unidentified woman, naked and completely encased in plastic
wrap, stretched across the back-seat of Beck’s car.
Hidden in the
wrapping is a tape recording of the victim’s last, gasping words,
terrifying evidence of the horror endured at the hands of a madman.
Soon the body count begins to rise as more victims are found, all
gruesomely cocooned, their final pleas also captured on tape.
Determined to catch the sadistic killer, Beck and Mia team up and set a trap–with Mia as bait. But their prey is closer than they ever could have imagined. Now Beck must race against time to save Mia from becoming the next victim of a serial killer as elusive as he is evil.
