A Song for the Dead — D.K. Hood

As she steps out of the shower and wraps herself in a warm towel, her breath catches. There's writing scrawled in the condensation on the mirror. I'm going to kill you. She doesn't even have time to scream…


It's Halloween when a young woman is reported missing from the small town of Black Rock Falls and Sheriff Jenna Alton and her partner, Deputy David Kane, race to her remote home. But all they find are signs of a struggle and blood on the bathroom floor. Freya Richardson has vanished.


With no leads on Freya's whereabouts, Jenna hits a wall in the investigation. Then the bodies of three women are discovered buried in a local forest. Each one has been wrapped in a blanket. As Jenna takes in their pretty faces and long blonde hair, her blood runs cold. Freya isn't here: but each body looks shockingly like her… 


Jenna soon links the victims with an unsolved case where the killer attacked blonde-haired women in their homes and buried the bodies. She's convinced it's the same murderer, and seeing that he always takes three victims, she realizes that two more women could be in serious danger…


Working around the clock, Jenna's heart sinks when a beloved friend makes a terrifying call telling her there's an intruder in her house. Begging her to hide, Jenna and Dave race to the woman's house. But can they get there in time to stop another innocent life from being taken? 


Truly gripping and absolutely unputdownable, fans of Lisa Regan, Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot will love this novel from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author D.K. Hood.



**Each Kane and Alton book can be read as part of the series or as a standalone**
