Ripped Bodice

Millers Kill reaches the boiling point in this white- hot novel of love and suspense

People die. Marriages fail. In the small Adirondack town
of Millers Kill, New York, however, life doesn’t stop for
heartbreak. A brand-new officer in the police department,
a breaking-and-entering, and trouble within his own family
keep Police Chief Russ Van Alstyne busy enough to ignore
the pain of losing his wife---and the woman he loves.

At St. Alban’s Episcopal Church, the Reverend Clare
Fergusson is trying to keep her vestry, her bishop, and
her National Guard superiors happy---all the while denying
her own wounded soul.

When a Mexican farmhand stumbles over a Latino man killed
with a single shot to the back of his head, Clare is
sucked into the investigation through her involvement in
the migrant community. The discovery of two more bodies
executed in the same way ignites fears that a serial
killer is loose in the close-knit community. While the
sorrowful spring turns into a scorching summer, Russ is
plagued by media hysteria, conflict within his department,
and a series of baffling assaults.

As the violence strikes closer and closer to home, an
untried officer is tested, a wary migrant worker is
tempted, and two would-be lovers who thought they had lost
everything must find a way to trust each other again---
before it becomes forever, fatally, too late.

Julia Spencer-Fleming shows you can escape danger---but
not desire---in her most suspenseful, passionate novel yet.
