Synopsis

Perry Hollow, Pennsylvania, has never had a murder. At least not as long as Kat Campbell has been police chief. And the first is brutal. George Winnick, a farmer in his sixties, is found in a homemade coffin on the side of the highway with his lips sewn shut and his veins and arteries drained of blood and filled with embalming fluid. Chilling as that is, it becomes even more so when Kat finds that the Perry Hollow Gazette obituary writer, Henry Goll, received a death notice for Winnick before he was killed.

Soon after, the task force from the Pennsylvania Bureau of Investigation shows up and everything takes an irreversible turn for the worse. Nick Donnelly, head of the task force, has been chasing the “Betsy Ross Killer,” so named because he’s handy with a needle and thread, for more than a year. Winnick seems to be his fourth victim. Or is he?

Kat has never handled a murder case before, but she’s not about to sit by while someone terrorizes her sleepy little town or her own son. But will her efforts be enough to stop a killer and bring calm to Perry Hollow?

A portrait of a small town in turmoil, where residents fear for their lives, Todd Ritter’s Death Notice is a gripping debut from a terrific new talent in crime fiction.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Perry Hollow, Pennsylvania, has never had a murder. At least not as long as Kat Campbell has been sheriff. And the first one is a doozy: George Winnick, a farmer in his sixties, is found in a homemade coffin by the side of the highway with his lips sewn shut and his veins and arteries drained of blood and filled with embalming fluid. Not only that, but the Perry Hollow Gazette obituary writer, Henry Goll, got advance notice of his death. But it's when the Pennsylvania Bureau of Investigation task force shows up that the news really turns bad. Nick Donnelly, head of the task force, has been chasing this killer - the 'Betsy Ross Killer', because he's handy with a needle and thread - for more than a year. George Winnick seems to be his fourth victim. Or is he? Though Kat has never handled a murder case before, she's not going to sit by while someone terrorizes her town, and threats against her only son are the very last straw. Todd Ritter is an exciting and talented new voice in mystery fiction.
