What you need to know before your trail

Valerie Hart is a San Francisco homicide detective, who is hunting a serial killer she and her team have never been able to catch. Not having much luck in the case at work, her personal life is not doing to well either. But she hasn’t got time to think about anything other than the job at hand – a random robbery in a remote farm house gives her the chills for  more reason than one – it reminds her of the murders in her case file. So, with a dread and sense of foreboding, she is even more determined than most to track this killer down.

There is one witness in all of this – Nell – a child who manages to escape from the grisly attack upon her family, but she’s hardly been left unharmed. And worse is to come, for when the serial killer finds out that Nell has survived, the killer goes on another and more disturbing hunt of all.

The question is who will get to Nell first

Travel Guide

Colorado

A remote farmhouse in the middle of nowhere:

“Years of not locking doors and windows, of leaving the keys in the ignition, of not thinking anything like this was ever going to happen, years of feeling safe – it had all been a lie she’d been dumb enough to tell herself.”

San Francisco

A city where it is very hard to hide and conceal a body Valerie says but where some of the nicest places in that city – the Golden Gate park and the city zoo become places where fear strike. This is where Valerie lives and knows well – the Cole Valley neighbourhood but it’s also a city that gives her nightmares as she sees it through a killer’s eyes. With events and addresses of note in the Tenderloin district, this novel hits where it hurts
