The Art of Fear

A fearless detective. A stolen child. And a killer just getting started. From USA TODAY bestselling author Pamela Crane comes a terrifying tale of small-town secrets and murder. Ari Wilburn's life ended long ago-the day she watched her little sister die in a tragic accident and did nothing to stop it. Crippled with self-blame and resented by her parents, she stumbles through life ... and onto an unexpected clue that casts doubt on whether the death was accidental. Now a psychological wreck, Ari joins a suicide support group where she meets Tina, a sex-enslaved escapee whose daughter is missing and her long-lost father dead. Suicide, police ruled it. But Tina suspects foul play. As a bond develops between the women in their shared loss, they're dragged into playing a dangerous game with a killer. A serial killer with a deadly message. Faced with a murderous wake-up call and two possibly linked deaths, Ari's investigation puts her next on the killer's list. But she's never been one to back down from a fight. Needing closure, Ari must face her demons and the killer behind them ... or lose everything she loves. "If Dexter and Gone Girl had a love child, this would be it." - reader review ¿¿¿¿¿
