New York Times and USA Today bestselling
author Eric Rickstad delivers another Canaan Crime novel,
the electrifying sequel to The Silent Girls, and
features once again detectives Frank Rath and Sonja Test as
they track a depraved killer through rural Vermont. Every murder tells a story. Some stories never end . . .
In a remote northern Vermont town, college student Rachel
Rath is being watched. She can feel the stranger’s eyes on
her, relentless and possessive. And she’s sure the man
watching her is the same man who killed her mother and
father years ago: Ned Preacher, a serial rapist and murderer
who gamed the system to get a light sentence. Now, he’s free. Detective Frank Rath adopted Rachel, his niece, after the
shocking murder of her parents when she was a baby. Ever
since, Rath’s tried to protect her from the true story of
her parents’ deaths. But now Preacher is calling Rath to
torment him. He’s threatening Rachel and plotting cruelties
for her, of the flesh and of the mind. When other girls are
found brutally murdered, and a woman goes missing, Rath and
Detective Sonja Test must untangle the threads that tie
these new crimes and some long-ago nightmares together. Soon
they will learn that the truth is more perverse than anyone
could guess, rife with secrets, cruel desires, and warped,
deadly loyalty. Mesmerizing, startling, and intricately plotted, The
Names of Dead Girls builds relentlessly on its
spellbinding premise, luring readers into its dark and
macabre mystery, right to its shocking end.
