Cheating, lying, and a terrible mistake set off a chain of events leading to arson and murder as a cold-blooded killer lurks in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to kill again. Arson guts the home of a family member, and a search for the culprit leads to a late night encounter in a hospital parking garage. A man wearing a mask confronts Jesse and confesses to the crime, then pleads for forgiveness before vanishing into the darkness. In the wee hours of the morning, the arsonist strikes again. Only this time, the charred bodies of a Ruckersville man and his wife, the sister of a Greene County deputy, are discovered in the hallway of their burned-out home. Each victim had been shot in the head. Evidence suggests that both crimes are related, drawing Jesse deeper into a mystery as filled with surprises and hairpin turns as a Blue Ridge Mountain road. It isn’t until an intruder leaves behind chilling hints of things to come that she realizes the full extent of the madness to follow. Nothing can prepare her for the outcome as she journeys into the realm of a killer’s world—a killer who is on the loose and living in Greene County. To complicate matters, Savannah Kelley, an author living in Dogwood Valley believes her recently published mystery novel is being used by the killer as a manual for murder. The similarities are unmistakable, but before she has a chance to report her suspicions to the Greene County Sheriff’s Office, her car is found abandoned at the entrance to her driveway, the door standing wide open, blood on the ground next to it. Danger is eminent; death—a strong possibility. Will the conclusion mimic Savannah Kelley’s book, or will the killer be caught in time to spare others from certain death?
