Part of Alex McKnight, book 11
First published 2018
Alex McKnight receives an unexpected summons from the FBI. Martin T. Livermore, suspected in the murders of at least five women, has been captured in Scottsdale after making a fatal mistake. A vacationer monitoring his home security cameras from the Mediterranean spotted an intruder and discovered a corpse in his bedroom. When agents arrest Livermore, he refuses to cooperate with anyone except McKnight, a former Detroit cop turned private investigator in Paradise, Michigan. McKnight has never heard of Livermore, but the killer clearly knows him well. What begins as a simple interview reveals an intricate scheme with McKnight positioned as the primary target. Livermore's capture was merely the opening move in a calculated game of revenge. McKnight must pursue this methodical predator across the country, racing to prevent a final act of violence that will strike at everything he holds dear in his small Michigan town.
