Publisher's summary

From TikTok sensation Lloyd Devereux Richards, author of Stone Maidens, comes the next pulse-pounding thriller in which FBI agent Christine Prusik races to track down a serial killer who leaves a peculiar mark on his victims

Forensic anthropologist Christine Prusik has a knack for solving the most unusual cases—and for bending the rules in the process.

When the bodies of young women start appearing in the caves of Indiana and Illinois, Christine immediately jumps into action. But her Chicago field office is undergoing a reorganization, and the boys’ club at the top seem more interested in getting all the paperwork in order than solving the murders.

Christine isn’t going to let a little red tape stop her, and when she discovers that all the bodies have the same mysterious pin-sized bruise on the back of their necks, she realizes she’ll have to confront her own inner demons to find the killer.

Enjoy Tremendously

I really enjoy the different themes and story LD Richard writes. I thought book 2 was even better than book 1. I like the twist and turns and feel the story moves quickly while keeping you excited. Can’t wait for more books and adventures of Christine P. Loved it! Thank you

Gripping thriller

This is my second time around with special agent Christina Prusic. Both of these books manage to take hold of me and don’t let go until the end. I recommend!

Great read!!!!

Can't wait until the next books. Looking forward to it. I wanted to keep on going.

A great second book by Mr. Richards!

I read his first book because of his daughter’s beautiful TikTok video. I came back for the second book, because I loved the first one. His second book did not disappoint in any way! I am officially hooked, and hoping there are many more books to follow in this series!

Fabulous sequel

Love that there’s a second book for this author! It’s a great follow up to Special Agent Christine and to the story. I sure hope there’ll be a third!! The unusual way the killer kills their victims was well researched, I know this because I listened to a very thorough NPR segment on a very similar creature. Was really gripping to find out who the killer was as there were several characters that “could have done it.”

Great buck

I was excited to get the book number two. Great characters and interesting plot.

I hope there is a third book to come.

Did Not Disappoint!

I loved it!!! It kept me guessing throughout the whole book right to the end. Great sequel!

Another awesome book!

I was turned onto the first book because of social media. After listening, I quickly preordered the second and couldn’t wait for it to come out. I binged it every free chance I had and it kept me gripped the entire time. This author is a hidden gem. I love the characters and was heavily invested in the follow up of their story lines going into the second book. I wish there was a 3rd on the horizon already! Wonderful writing, details, character development, and twists and turns. I’d honestly rank these two books as my favorites. Congratulations on cementing yourself as a published author and I love that you dedicated this book to your daughter for her social media help with the first. Highly recommend!!!!

Great read

Excellent second book by this author. Loved first but this was even better. Look forward to more to come

One of the best sequels I’ve ever read!

It is so hard for sequels to match up to the first novel of the series because the bar is set to high but this book had no problem doing just that! A story that was just as compelling as the first novel, yet entirely its own. This sequel did not feel forced at all rather it had such a natural flow from the first novel. I could not stop listening!
