Carolina McKay Thriller

Seventeen years ago, Carolina McKay escaped death at the hands of a psychopath. Now she's come home, and so has the killer. After she's shot in the line of duty, Detective Carolina McKay returns to her hometown hoping to rebuild her life and conquer her demons. But before she can even unpack, a college student is found dead in a ditch. The crime scene looks familiar. Too familiar. Has the madman who terrorized Carolina's childhood, reemerged? Or is a new killer copying those old murders? When another woman goes missing, it's clear the local police force is outmatched. Can Carolina unravel the mystery before more girls end up dead? Or will she be the killer's next victim?

How can she save anyone when she can't save herself? Detective Carolina McKay survived a serial killer and saved the town she used to call home. Now she finds herself more alone than ever... until a stranger knocks on her door. A desperate father seeking to exonerate his son has no one else to turn to. But to prove a confession was forced, Carolina must battle corrupt cops, drug dealers, prostitutes, and reclusive crazies. She wanted the truth, but what she uncovers is worse. Decades worth of unexplainable murders that point to a sadistic serial murderer. And Carolina just stepped onto his turf.

To catch the perfect killer, she must become the perfect victim. After discovering that her estranged sister is missing, Carolina McKay heads to Pittsburgh where she stumbles into an FBI investigation. The same time her sister, Scarlet, vanished, so did $300,000. And Scarlet is the prime suspect. But if there's one thing Carolina's good at, it's digging. When she delves into her sister's sordid private life, she discovers that Scarlet has a separate, and dangerous, identity. And in her other life, the darkness is winning. As Carolina enters the seedy world of high-end sex workers, she soon finds herself in over her head with her life hanging in the balance. She's determined to uncover what happened to Scarlet, but will the price be trading places with her?

Poachers discovered the bodies. Slaughtered. Mauled. Partially devoured. Carolina McKay has never squared off with a killer this vicious. Sober and a licensed Private Investigator, for the first time in her adult life Carolina has found what she's been missing… Hope. But it's not long before the past comes calling. Her ex-partner, Hank Kolazarek, is now Sheriff of small town Hopkins, Ohio where human remains were found in the woods. The work of a madman. Outmatched, Hank needs Carolina's help before more people die. Walking the streets of Hopkins is a man who blends in, is respected, even admired. But his psyche is cracking. His delusions worsening. With each passing day he becomes less man and more animal… With each tick of the clock his hunger grows… When the killer takes one of her only allies, Carolina must break through his facade and uncover his true identity. But with the stress threatening her newfound sobriety, will she crumble, allowing even more victims to fall prey to the hunt?

She was hired to uncover the truth, but she may be buried by the lies. When a teenager disappears from a posh ski resort, her millionaire father, Nikolaus Winter, hires Carolina McKay to bring his daughter home safe and in one piece. A promise that may be impossible to keep. Overwhelmed with suspects, Carolina enters a world of money, control, and jealousy as she tries to unearth what happened to Maurah Winter. All signs point to her running away, until a much darker threat emerges. One that involves those closest to her. As Carolina races to uncover why a girl with the world at her fingertips would vanish into thin air, she finds herself sinking in too deep. So deep she may not get out alive.

Carolina thought her past was buried until someone dug it up. Just when her life seems to be on the verge of normalcy, Private Investigator Carolina McKay receives a mysterious envelope in the mail. Inside is a photograph of a field with GPS coordinates. And one very cryptic message: "Wish you were here." Upon receiving the clue, Carolina heads to Western Maryland and unearths a mass grave. Five members of a single family, all of whom went missing decades earlier. Their nightmare might have ended years ago, but hers is just beginning. Soon, more photos arrive and more graves are uncovered. A madman with a penchant for killing families has eluded capture for years. A madman who is now taunting Carolina and drawing her into the investigation. A madman who has a new family in his sights. When new victims vanish, Carolina teams up with FBI Agent Baden Mulrooney to solve the case. Can they stop the monster before more bodies are left in his wake, or will it be Carolina who ends up in a nameless grave?

She thought her past was buried. But some nightmares don't stay dead. After weeks of torture, private investigator Carolina McKay claws her way out of captivity, only to discover the nightmare isn't over. It's just begun. The man responsible, charismatic cult leader Josiah Zarchi, is alive, thriving, and more powerful than ever. The deeper Carolina digs, the clearer it becomes: this is more than a cult, it's a bloodthirsty revenge plot. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes. To stop Zarchi, Carolina will have to risk everything, including the people she loves most.
