Dancing with the Dead

An amateur ballroom dancer is targeted by a serial killer in this riveting mystery by veteran John Lutz

Mary Arlington only feels alive when she is dancing. The rest of her life, dominated by a violent boyfriend and a mother intent on drinking herself to death, isn't worth being awake for, but when she dances the tango her troubles disappear. She's gotten so good that her studio is taking her to the national competition in Ohio, where she will prove to the world and to herself that her hobby is more than a pastime. That is, if she can stay alive until the music starts to play.

At dance competitions across the country, amateur dancers have been turning up with slit throats. Mary follows the killing spree in the newspapers, morbidly fascinated by the deaths of women so similar to her. When the killer comes for her, she will need more than rhythm to survive.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of John Lutz including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.
