Her Last Words
H K Christie
A string of puzzling murders. A skilled and dangerous killer. Will the Cold Case Squad discover the truth in time to save one of their own?
PI Martina and Detective Hirsch accept the new sheriff’s request to reopen a ten-year-old serial killer case. Not that they could refuse. One victim was the sheriff’s brother, a married father of two.
The case is strange. Someone has murdered three successful men within a six-month time period. There were no suspects and no motive. The only connection is their cause of death. The links are thin and the motive is unknown, but Martina and Hirsch know better than to ignore the similarities.
Frustrated without a logical theory for the murders, Martina and Hirsch throw out preconceived notions and start from scratch. Determined to learn the truth, they pound the pavement and re-interview family, friends, and coworkers until Martina receives a tip.
Not a tip.
A warning.
Undeterred by the threat against her and the squad, Martina calls for an all-hands on deck to solve the case.
Will the squad discover the truth before one of their own pays the ultimate price?
Her Last Words is the 8th installment of the page-turning and suspenseful Martina Monroe crime thriller series.
