This book is a hand-me-down from Sullivan's Trade-A-Book, a wonderful used book store in Mt Pleasant. Every once in a while, Sean has an overrun of certain books -- maybe there are already a couple of copies on the shelf, or maybe this particular copy has been loved a tad too much and is showing signs of wear. He kindly donates some of these duplicates or discards to BookCrossing. Now, isn't that nice? This book is one such book. I have not read it, but am registering it and passing it along. When you have a chance, stop by Sullivan's Trade-A-Book sometime: 1303 Ben Sawyer Blvd (between Chuck Dawley and Rifle Range at 1303 Ben Sawyer Blvd Suite 3, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464 (843) 884-8611 )

From the Publisher

NOTHING'S MORE TERRIFYING . . .

One by one, the victims are carefully captured, toyed with, then subjected to a slow and agonizing death. Piece by piece, his exquisite plan takes shape. The police can't yet see the beauty in his work-but soon, very soon, they will . . .

THAN BEING LEFT ALONE . . .

In the lonely woods around Grizzly Falls, Montana, four bodies have been discovered. Detectives Selena Alvarez and Regan Pescoli have been hoping for a career-making case, but this is a nightmare. Even with the FBI involved, Selena and Regan have nothing to go on but a killer's cryptic notes, and the unsettling knowledge that there is much worse to come . . .

TO DIE . . .

When Jillian Rivers opens her eyes, she's trapped in a mangled car. Then a stranger, claiming to be a trail guide named Zane MacGregor, pries her free. Though she's grateful, something about him sets Jillian on edge. And if she knew what lay out there in the woods of Montana, she'd be truly terrified. Because someone is waiting . . . watching . . . poised to strike and make Jillian the next victim . . .
