When two female students, each from wealthy and powerful
families, are found gruesomely murdered in the creepy old
tunnels that run beneath the campus of a small, prestigious
university, FBI agent Kelly Stone and her partner, Roger
Morrow, are called in to investigate. In addition to the
horrific way the bodies are displayed, there are unusual
ancient symbols painted in blood near the victims. The case
hits close to home for Kelly, since she's an alumnus of the
school.
And Kelly is none too happy when former FBI agent Jake
Riley, now working as head of security for one of the dead
girls' fathers, arrives to help with the investigation. But
when more dead, mutilated bodies turn up -- and a student
goes missing -- Kelly decides she'll take whatever help she
can get to stop the strange, sadistic murderer before he
strikes again.
This debut thriller by Michelle Gagnon grabbed me
from the first page and never let go until the shocking
climax. It will be interesting to see where Kelly Stone
goes from here, as this is the start of a series featuring
this gutsy agent. I can't wait to read more from this
talented new author.
An old, abandoned tunnel system beneath a prestigious New
England college becomes the gruesome stalking ground of a
serial killer…
The crime scenes are both grim and otherworldly. The bodies
of two female students are found mutilated and oddly
positioned in the dark labyrinth beneath the school—
haunting symbols painted on the walls above them.
In her decade tracking serial killers, FBI special agent
Kelly Jones has seen some of the worst humanity can
inflict. Yet the tragedy unfolding at her alma mater chills
her to the bone. Evidence suggests that the connection
between the victims—daughters of powerful men—and the
cryptic message behind the killings is rooted in a dark,
ancient ritual. As the body count rises, so do the stakes.
The killer is taunting Kelly, daring her to follow him down
a dangerous path from which only one can emerge.
