The Gamecock Killer

When Maya Chen returns to her hometown of Columbia, South Carolina, to investigate the brutal murder of her childhood best friend, she discovers she's walking into a killer's trap fifteen years in the making.

The Gamecock Killer targets successful USC alumni who left home and returned—making Maya the ultimate prize. As bodies pile up during football season, each murder timed to USC traditions and marked with garnet ribbons, Maya realizes she's not just investigating a serial killer—she's the centerpiece of a domestic terrorism plot that threatens everything she holds dear.

From the atmospheric USC campus to the electric energy of Williams-Brice Stadium, Maya must navigate her complicated homecoming while hunting a killer who knows her every move. But in a community where everyone remembers who she used to be, and loyalty to the Gamecocks runs deeper than blood, Maya discovers that going home again might be the deadliest decision she's ever made.

The fourth book in the Maya Chen Mystery series combines Southern Gothic atmosphere with page-turning suspense in a story about homecoming, loyalty, and the price of success.
