#1 New York Times bestselling author Tami Hoag brings back
her fan-favorite Minneapolis investigators Sam Kovac and
Nikki Liska in the haunting new thriller The 9th Girl.
"Kovac had seen more dead bodies than he could count:
Men, women, children; victims of shootings, stabbings,
strangulations, beatings; fresh corpses and bodies that
had been left for days in the trunks of cars in the dead
of summer. But he had never seen anything quite like
this . . . "
On a frigid New Year's Eve in Minneapolis a young
woman's brutalized body falls from the trunk of a car
into the path of oncoming traffic. Questions as to whether
she was alive or dead when she hit the icy pavement result
in her macabre nickname, Zombie Doe. Unidentified and
unidentifiable, she is the ninth nameless female victim of
the year, and homicide detectives Sam Kovac and Nikki
Liska are charged with the task of not only finding out
who Zombie Doe is, but who in her life hated her enough to
destroy her. Was it personal, or could it just have been a
crime of opportunity? Their greatest fear is that not only
is she their ninth Jane Doe of the year, but that she may
be the ninth victim of a vicious transient serial killer
they have come to call Doc Holiday.
Crisscrossing America's heartland, Doc Holiday chooses
his victims at random, snatching them in one city and
leaving them in another, always on a holiday. If Zombie
Doe is one of his, he has brought his gruesome game to a
new and more terrifying level. But as Kovac and Liska
begin to uncover the truth, they will find that the
monsters in their ninth girl's life may have lived closer
to home. And even as another young woman disappears, they
have to ask the question: which is the greater evil--the
devil you know or the devil you don't?
