The Big Sandy Mountaineer -

This week Vicki recommends “AFRAID TO DIE” by Lisa Jackson.

Others may dread the chill of winter but he relishes it. The way the frigid water preserves his victims, the feel of their icy skin beneath his fingers and soon the world will see their beauty and his vengeance.

The town of Grizzly Falls is on edge in the wake of a serial killer and detective Selena Alvarez is no exception. That case was solved but a new nightmare is about to unfold. There are two victims so far. Their bodies found frozen solid and deliberately displayed. Both are women she knew and each wears a piece of Selena’s jewelry.

Selena’s partner, detective Regan Pescoli, and the entire department are on the case, as is PI Dylan O’Keefe---a man Selena got too close to once before. But this killer already knows too much about Selena’s secret terror, her flaws and the past she has tried to outrun. And soon he will show her that she has every reason to be afraid.

“AFRAID TO DIE” is available now at the Big Sandy Library if you are brave enough to read it!
