Despite her stepfather's claim that it was a deliberate act, the Juvenile Court ruled the death an accident. Many people, however, agreed with Foster and tabloids compared Liza to the infamous murderess, Lizzie Borden, pointing even to the similarity in name. Growing up with adoptive parents who tried to erase every trace of her past, her name is changed to Celia. Always, though, the fear hung over her and the family - that someday, her vengeful stepfather would reappear to harm her. Aged 25, a successful interior designer, she marries a childless sixty-year old widower and they have a son. Before their marriage, she had confided her earlier life to her husband. Two years on, on his deathbed, he tells her that he would want her to re-marry, but makes her swear never to reveal her past to anyone, so that their son would not carry the burden of this family tragedy - a promise that plunges her into a new cycle of violence. Three years later, happily re-married, Celia is shocked when her second husband presents her with a gift -- the house where she killed her mother. When the real estate agent who has made the sale recognises her and, soon after, is murdrered, Celia is accused of the crime.

LynDee Walker is a modern voice in crime fiction with a southern belle's charm...if you like Tami Hoag or Nora Roberts, you will love her work. --S.A. Cosby, New York Times bestselling author of RAZORBLADE TEARS When Texas Ranger Faith McClellan is called to investigate a series of gruesome small-town murders, she doesn't expect to find a slaughtered pig--but she agrees to take the case, suspecting the latest murder was targeted at Kelsey Marie, the teenage handler of the victim. Kelsey Marie is smart, pretty, and successful, supporting her family's lavish lifestyle with her highly lucrative YouTube channel. She's also the target of massive online hate, with dozens of threatening messages sent to her channel each day. Although the clues point to an online stalker, Faith suspects a killer much closer to home, and the list of possibilities is endless: from jealous rivals at a local FFA chapter to Kelsey Marie's suspiciously missing mom and half brother. When the killer carves up their first human victim, Faith knows she's running out of time--but with little evidence, too many suspects, and a serial killer who outsmarts her at every turn, the odds are stacked up against her. And when the killer uploads the filmed murders to Kelsey Marie's YouTube channel, Faith will risk everything to save the teenager's reputation...and her life. ______________________ Praise for LynDee Walker and the Faith McClellan series: Faith McClellan is fast becoming a fan favorite with a loyal following. --Raven Award Winner Kristopher Zgorski, BOLO Books LynDee Walker can take you into the darkness of a killer's mind like few can, leaving you shaking off its lingering effects. --Brian Shea, author of the Boston Crime Thriller Series ______________________ What readers are saying ★★★★★ ...a wild ride... ★★★★★ ...outstanding... ★★★★★ ...totally riveting! ★★★★★ ...action packed and full of twists... ★★★★★ ...utterly shocked...I did not see that coming. |
