Homicide detective Carina Kincaid has a dead body on her
hands and very few clues to work with. The victim, a young
woman, was brutally tortured, and while investigating her
murder, the detectives discover an online blog that leads
them to a potential suspect called "S."
Steve Thomas is 20 years older than the victim, and when
police start linking him to the death of his former
girlfriend, he contacts his brother, Montana sheriff Nick
Thomas. Nick has experience with serial killers, having
recently ended the years-long killing spree of the Bozeman
Butcher. He travels to San Diego to offer his assistance
and get his brother off the suspect list.
The killer is escalating and more college students
disappear. Each turns up the day after being taken, mouths
glued shut, raped, tortured and wrapped in plastic. Carina
and Nick race against time to discover clues in the
victims' blogs documenting their sexual escapades, hoping
to catch the calculating and deranged killer before he
strikes again.
SPEAK NO EVIL is a tautly written thriller that grabs the
reader from page one and holds on with a fisted grip until
the final page. Carina and Nick are a dynamic pair, each
touched by a horrific crime in their past, each needing the
other to make themselves whole. The terrifying glimpses
into the killer's mind are truly disturbing and the ending
a surprise. This latest from Ms. Brennan will stay with the
reader long after the final page is turned.
The murder of eighteen-year-old Angi Vance was exceptionally
vile--her mouth was sealed with glue, an obscenity was
scrawled across her skin, and she was suffocated in a
garbage bag. The killing seems personal, so police detective
Carina Kincaid focuses her efforts on the victim's much
older ex-boyfriend, Steve Thomas. But without physical
evidence, Carina can't make a collar or a case. She also
can't stop Sheriff Nick Thomas, the prime suspect's brother,
from conducting his own unwelcome investigation.
Though Nick is still scarred and unsteady from a recent
confrontation with a serial killer, he's determined to prove
his brother's innocence. But his confidence is shaken when
he learns of Steve's dark side, and when a friend of the
murdered girl meets a similarly gruesome fate. With no time
to lose, Carina and Nick work together to trap a psychopath,
before another unlucky woman faces and unspeakable end.
