Eight years after a serial killer was presumed dead, a rookie cop tackles his possible comeback in this crime thriller by the author of D for Dead.
In 1989 the Alphabet Killer, Professor Rodney Boone, murdered eight students. The victims, “A” to “H,” were each found with their surname initial carved into their neck. Victim nine narrowly escaped, and the murderer was left to burn to death.
Eight years later, rookie police officer, Rebecca Angell, is thrown headlong into assisting a murder investigation. A body is found floating in the sewer, bearing the initial “J.” The investigators are convinced they are dealing with a copycat killer, but Boone’s body was never recovered.
As Angell scrambles to uncover the truth, the body count continues to rise, and it soon becomes apparent that the killer is intent on completing the alphabet . . .
***Previously published as Dead Letter Day ***
A perfect choice for fans of authors like Angela Marsons, Robert Bryndza, and Patricia Gibney.
Keri Beevis wrote her first novel at age twenty, but it was a further twenty years before she was published after winning a contract in the Rethink Press New Novels Competition 2012. Born in the village of Old Catton, less than a mile from where Anna Sewell was living when she wrote Black Beauty, Keri had a passion for reading and writing from a young age, though her tastes veered more to the macabre. Today she still lives in Norwich, along with her two naughty kitties, Ellie and Lola, and a plentiful supply of red wine (her writing fuel), where she writes a comedic lifestyle column for a local magazine. She loves Hitchcock movies, exploring creepy places, and gets extremely competitive in local pub quizzes. She is also a self-confessed klutz. Keri joined the Bloodhound team in 2019 and her first release with them, the psychological thriller, Dying To Tell, which is set in her beautiful home county of Norfolk, has been her biggest success to date, with over 1200 four and five star ratings on Goodreads. She is now looking forward to the relaunch of her three earlier novels in 2020.
