Death Offerings

by Alicia Dean

Category: Mystery & Detective / General

For more than twenty-five years, a series of unsolved murders has haunted newspaper columnist, Monroe Donovan. One of those victims was Monroe's best friend, Katie, who was snatched from Monroe's back yard when they were only twelve years old. Hours later, Katie's body was found, but the killer was never caught. The most recent murder was over two years ago. It seems the monster has finally stopped. After a promotion from obituary columnist to crime writer, Monroe begins publishing a series of articles on the murders, hoping to uncover information that will lead the police to solve the case. But, rather than helping find the killer, it appears the articles might have woken a sleeping maniac. A young girl is brutally slain and the M.O. is eerily similar to the others...except the killer has added a twist that points directly to Monroe. When more young girls are murdered, and someone close to Monroe is kidnapped, Monroe becomes embroiled in a game of cat and mouse. But what the cat doesn't know is that the mouse can play games, too...and with stakes this high, Monroe is determined to come out the winner.
