ISBN: 9780373279012
After five years away wandering big cities to stay ahead of law
enforcement and rejoice in his collection, Calvin Sweet comes back to his
hometown of Conard City, Wyoming. Filled
with rage for the cops taking away his triumphs, his boys, his corpses that he
left there; Calvin plans to start over but change the locale of his spiderweb
from the woods to somewhere else. Still
he feels good that his job at the crisis hotline should enable him to find
troubled boys.
Not long after Calvin’s triumphant return, several boys go
missing. Wyoming Special Agents Cade
Bankston and DeeJay Dawkins arrive in Conard City to assist the locals in
catching the kidnaper who they assume is most likely a serial killer. Their attitudes re the opposite sex leads
each to detest their partnering; as Cade thinks a woman cannot have his back
and DeeJay loathes men as Neanderthals only good for an occasional fling. They seem to agree on nothing except to
disagree on everything starting with the car radio. Still making matters even more strained
between them is their attraction to each other while understanding stopping a
psychopath remains the top tasks.
The twelfth Conard County:
The Next Generation romantic suspense (see Snowstorm Confessions, Defending the
Eyewitness and Deadly Hunter) is an exciting serial killer novel. Although the taut storyline goes as expected
except for the deranged murderer going out of character by targeting one of the
leads, the two state cops and the lunatic make for an absorbing cat and mouse tale
as each brings diverse baggage to the plot.
