Trail of Blood: A Novel of Suspense

With “captivating characters,” this forensics thriller from a New York Times bestseller features a killer who copycats unsolved historical serial murders (Booklist).

In 1930s Cleveland, a serial killer nicknamed the Torso Killer went on a horrific spree that resulted in more than a dozen murders. And he was never caught.

Today, forensic scientist Theresa MacLean is called to an abandoned building where a body has been found in a room that’s been sealed off for years. Although there’s no immediate proof, everyone assumes the newly discovered corpse was a Torso Killer victim.

But then another body—this one recently deceased—turns up, and all signs seem to indicate the work of a new Torso Killer. Theresa’s examination of the old body has opened a door to the past—a door someone wanted to keep closed—and she shifts her focus from solving a historical puzzle to catching a very dangerous, present-day psychopath.

But as the body count rises, danger closes in on Theresa. For the killer is keeping a watchful eye on Theresa, and each step brings them closer and closer to each other. . . .
