A Vengeful Murder

Wedding bells. A vanished groom. A killer who won’t forget. Ten days before her wedding to Jace Northcott, Sheriff Cammie Farnsworth answers a call from ninety-two-year-old Cora Cameron, who swears a scarecrow is stalking her. In the woods, Cammie finds a homeless man brutally assaulted—and senses something darker moving beneath the town’s festivities. When Jace disappears without a trace, the nightmare sharpens. A serial killer Cammie helped put away, nicknamed the Jack-O-Lantern for the crude pumpkin faces carved into his victims, has just been released, and once swore revenge. As talk of a stalking scarecrow collides with the Jack-O-Lantern killer’s return, Cammie follows the facts before panic takes hold. As Twin Ponds rallies and the clock runs down, another shock hits: Doc’s estranged relative Lily Evans arrives in town and then vanishes. Coincidence, or a second move in a ruthless game? Cammie must navigate wedding plans turned manhunt, town fear turning to frenzy, and a killer who knows exactly how to hurt her. If she fails, she won’t just lose her badge—she’ll lose the future she’s fought to build.
