Detective CeeCee Gallagher hates cases that involve
children. However, the case she's working on now has her
racing against the clock to find a serial killer whose
victims are young girls. After many years of kidnapping and
murdering young girls, a frenzied killer has become even
more demented, picking CeeCee as his next target.
A year ago, CeeCee had to make the decision of staying with
her husband or starting a new life with Special Agent
Michael Hagerman. CeeCee chose her husband, however Michael
is now coming back to assist in the investigation of the
case she's currently working. This has CeeCee wondering if
she made the right choice in men. Michael knows what he
wants -- CeeCee -- and when it looks like he can finally have
her, he has to make sure he's able to keep her.
THE DEVIL'S CLOSE is jam-packed with mystery, suspense,
romance and much, much more. A perfect combination of
elements kept this reader's nose between the pages. I
really like debut author Stacy Dittrich's style of
writing. Drawing on her personal experiences as a deputy
sheriff and detective specializing in sexual crimes, her
novel is definitely interesting. And I'm looking forward to
her next novel due to come out May 2009.
