Some secrets refuse to stay buried...
Emma Fortier and Liam Harper thought they’d left their investigative days behind. But when Liam's long-time friend—the mayor of Butte, Arizona—is found dead from an apparent suicide, his grieving family insists something isn’t right. Reluctantly, Liam agrees to dig into the case and soon uncovers a trail of secrets the mayor took to the grave. Meanwhile, Emma is consumed by her latest true crime book—a decades-old murder she once helped investigate as a forensic psychologist. When the family of the convicted killer threatens her to stop writing, Emma’s resolve only strengthens. She’ll tell the victim’s story—no matter the cost. As both cases spiral into dangerous territory, Emma and Liam find themselves once again walking a thin line between truth and deception, justice and revenge. And this time, the enemy may be closer than either of them realizes. |
FIVE STAR REVIEW
Fatal Chapters kept me turning the pages trying to figure out who the killer was. Ruth Douthitt created a suspenseful tale that kept me on the edge of my seat as I tried to guess what the murderer would do next.
I quickly cared about both Emma and Liam as they faced the dangerous serial killer who used Emma's books as his blueprint for murder. Douthitt created a great resolution that will satisfy suspense readers! -Patricia Bradley Best-selling author of Deadly Revenge |
