Lingua:Libri ItalianiPer Bree, detective della omicidi, l’assassinio della sorella diventa un agghiacciante déjà vu
Per più di venticinque anni, la detective di Philadelphia, Bree Taggert, ha messo da parte gli spaventosi ricordi d’infanzia dell’omicidio-suicidio dei suoi genitori. Quando la sorella minore, Erin, viene uccisa in un crimine che richiama quella tragica notte, in Bree tornano a galla le immagini di testimoni innocenti e un matrimonio burrascoso finito in una sparatoria. C’è solo un’agghiacciante differenza: il marito di Erin, Justin, è scomparso.
Bree sa quanto è esplosivo il confine tra amore e odio, ma le prove contro il suo problematico cognato non quadrano. Facendo squadra con Matt Flynn, un vecchio amico di Justin, ex investigatore e istruttore dell’unità cinofila, Bree giura di scoprire i segreti della vita e della morte della sorella. L’ha promesso anche a Kayla e a Luke, i giovani figli di Erin.
Mentre le indagini proseguono, il pericolo colpisce vicino alla loro casa. La famiglia di Bree è sorpresa ancora da una stretta mortale. E, stavolta, per la detective potrebbe essere fatale.
Chi conosceva Holly non sarà mai al sicuro, finché non troveranno l’assassino della ragazza
Lo sceriffo Bree Taggert scopre il corpo di una giovane donna che galleggia sulle rive dello Scarlet River: un biglietto nell’auto abbandonata fa pensare al suicidio. L’autopsia, però, rivela una storia diversa: Holly Thorpe era già morta, quando è caduta giù dal ponte ed è finita in acqua.
Mentre Bree e il suo investigatore Matt Flynn indagano, i segreti della vita privata di Holly vengono a galla e la soluzione dell’omicidio si complica. Holly si è lasciata alle spalle un matrimonio litigioso, un capo che mostrava di essere personalmente coinvolto da lei e un rapporto difficile con Shannon, sua sorella. Ciascuno di loro aveva un motivo per ucciderla.
Quando Shannon viene terrorizzata dal macabro scherzo di uno stalker, e il primo sospettato delle indagini muore, le certezze di Bree sono capovolte e lei deve guardare il caso da una nuova angolazione. Ma non c’è tempo: l’assassino colpisce Bree e Matt da vicino. Devono fermarlo prima che sparga il sangue di una persona da loro amata.
Alyssa ha visto uccidere la sua amica, però manca un indizio fondamentale: la vittima
Bree Taggert è chiamata per una sparatoria in un campeggio che rimane chiuso durante l’inverno. Quando arriva, il nuovo sceriffo si trova davanti a un crimine sconcertante. Non c’è assassino, né vittima, né sangue. Nessuno a parte Bree crede all’unica testimone, Alyssa, un’adolescente senzatetto che sostiene di aver visto qualcuno sparare alla sua amica.
Per individuare il killer e rintracciare la ragazza, Bree chiede l’intervento dell’ex agente Matt Flynn e del suo cane poliziotto. Sotto il ghiaccio del Grey Lake, invece, Bree e Matt ritrovano il corpo massacrato di uno studente universitario scomparso… E non è l’unico della serie.
Quando altri due giovani spariscono e spuntano nuovi cadaveri, Bree deve scoprire il legame tra gli omicidi. È certa solo di un particolare: sono stati generati dalla furia dell’assassino. E quando anche Alyssa non si trova più, Bree deve correre contro il tempo: la sua testimone potrebbe diventare la prossima vittima.
L’omicidio dell’avvocato Lee Barrett e della moglie Kate insanguina l’incantata cittadina di Scarlet Falls. Il maggiore Grant, fratello di Lee, è costretto a rientrare subito dall’Afghanistan per prendersi cura dei nipotini rimasti orfani. Solo grazie all’aiuto di Ellie Ross, l’affascinante vicina di casa e amica dei Barrett, Grant riesce a mantenere il controllo su una situazione difficile da gestire per un uomo di guerra, costretto ad accudire due bambini.
Quando la cittadina viene sconvolta da nuovi episodi di violenza, l’istinto militare gli suggerisce che dietro all’omicidio del fratello si nasconda del marcio. Nessuno è più al sicuro. L’assassino è a piede libero e la lentezza della polizia costringe Grant ed Ellie a indagare da soli, insieme. E quanto più i due si avvicinano, tanto più si confrontano con le proprie emozioni e i propri sentimenti. Nel gelo del dramma, avvampa il fuoco della passione e il desiderio diventa irresistibile...
Tra l’attrazione reciproca, il dovere del maggiore di tornare in guerra e la disillusione della donna nei confronti dell’amore, riusciranno Grant ed Ellie a fermare l’assassino prima che la neve di Scarlet Falls sia macchiata da altro sangue?
