Sam Kovac and Nikki Liska return to investigate the death
of a Jane Doe in New York Times bestseller Tami Hoag’s
short story The 1st Victim.
New Year’s Day is a time for new beginnings, but
Minneapolis homicide detectives Sam Kovac and Nikki Liska
are focused on endings: specifically, the tragic end of
their latest murder victim, an unidentified young woman
discovered on the side of the freeway. Believed to be the
victim of a serial killer, Kovac and Liska are determined
to do the girl the small justice of returning her body to
her family as they investigate her case, but it is no
simple task matching the broken corpse to any of the scores
of missing persons reports, especially when no one seems to
be looking for her.
Meanwhile, recent widow Jeannie Reiser is frantic when she
is unable to get in touch with her daughter, Rose, who, as
an eighteen-year-old, is a legal adult rather than a
missing child in the eyes of the law. Jeannie’s desperate
attempts to get the police to believe her child is in
trouble lead her closer and closer to the New Year’s Doe
and to an evil even Sam Kovac and Nikki Liska may be unable
to stop. Tami Hoag once again proves her place as “one of
the most intense suspense writers around”* with The 1st
Victim. Includes an early look at The 9th Girl, coming July
2013.
