Part of Krewe of Hunters, book 29
First published 2019
FBI agent Cheyenne Donegal thought her nightmare ended when the serial killer called the Artiste was executed. The twisted murderer had claimed her cousin as his final victim, and teenage Cheyenne helped bring him to justice. That tragedy shaped her career choice. Now she's back in Louisiana because someone is killing young women using the Artiste's methods. Krewe of Hunters agent Andre Broussard knows New Orleans and the surrounding Cajun territories intimately. He understands that multiple predators have terrorized these bayous over the years. The question haunts them both: has the original threat somehow returned from the grave, or is a new killer drawing deadly inspiration from the past? A woman has vanished, and time is running out. Cheyenne and Andre must overcome their mutual suspicions and work together to uncover the truth. The investigation becomes dangerously personal when the killer shifts tactics and begins pursuing them directly. They cannot abandon the case, even as they become the hunted rather than the hunters.
