RetailSet against the backdrop of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, Jesse’s life
takes a sharp turn when Athena and Thor, her beloved canines, drag up a severed
hand and deposit it on her mother’s front porch. With their help, the Greene
County Sheriff’s department shifts into high gear and conducts a thorough search
of the surrounding woods. Their grisly discovery—the frozen, battered body of
Mary Keen—prompts an intense man hunt for the killer. There’s only one problem:
evidence leads the police right back to where they started. The dead woman was
wearing Jesse’s watch! Battling freezing temperatures and the beginning of a
full-blown mountain blizzard, Jesse and Billy Blackhawk, P.I., set out to prove
her innocence and find the real killer. Investigating the death of Mary Keen
leads to a trail of greed and police corruption—with extreme consequences. An
incendiary situation gets even hotter when Jesse has no choice but to kill…or be
killed. All is not what it appears to be when she stares into the face of a
killer and the heart of true evil. She must confront her worst nightmare—a
psychopath from her past who has enlisted the help of an unlikely accomplice.
When the killer’s search for revenge finally ends, bullets fly, and Jesse
realizes that her nightmare is not over. Views: 37
