About The Showhouse Killer

The writing is on the wall and it’s crystal clear. Private investigator Carlee Knight now has a target on her back. More than a decade after a malevolent serial killer once haunted Carlee’s eighth-grade class, claiming the lives of countless students, including her twin, horror has struck the quiet lakeside suburb once more. When a gristly murder of a teen boy suddenly yields fresh leads on this ice-cold case, Carlee knows she must leave her new home in Chicago and dive back into the bloody secrets of Harborside—before the next child winds up dead. As she works with her two closest colleagues, stoic Detective West and charismatic FBI Special Agent Garnett, Carlee’s search for the Eighth-Grade Killer is entangled with another death. An intern at a high-stakes realty company is found hanging from a swing set, dead of an apparent suicide. His distraught mother refuses to accept the police report... and when no one else will listen, she hires Carlee to prove it was murder. One pull of the thread leads Carlee into a perilous game of foul play and million-dollar deals that will drag her from lavish mansions to dark alleys. But there’s a dangerous shadow still following her every step. How can she defend herself against a shadow? Better yet, how can she turn this around and chase a shadow? --
