Never Strike Twice

Twenty-five years ago, five victims died in a ritualistic killing. Now, the pattern is repeating… The small town of Oak Creek is rocked by the discovery of a body branded with a mysterious symbol. Investigations soon link the killing to a series of unsolved murders from twenty-five years before – murders that left five victims dead, each marked with an identical brand. Newly retired, Detective Charlotte Dawes is brought back to help, having worked the original case as a rookie cop in Chicago. As more bodies appear, she uncovers a disturbing pattern: the killer is following the same ritual, down to the exact symbols and methodology used decades ago. As paranoia spreads through Oak Creek's tight-knit streets, Charlotte must race against time to unravel the shocking connection between past and present before the deadly sequence is complete… Fans of Charlie Donlea, Lisa Regan and A. J. Rivers will be utterly hooked by the second book in the Oak Creek Thriller series.
