Archie Sheridan & Gretchen Lowell #05: Kill You Twice

“Utterly engrossing.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Nothing makes Portland detective Archie Sheridan happier than knowing that Beauty Killer Gretchen Lowell is locked away in a psych ward. Archie can finally heal from the near-fatal physical and emotional wounds shes inflicted on him and start moving on with his life. Or can he? His latest case, involving a man who was mutilated and murdered in a public park in broad daylight, bears the stamp of an expert killer…and before long, Archie gets a message from Gretchen, who makes him an offer he cant refuse.

“DELIVERS THE SHOCKS.”—MIAMI HERALD

Gretchen claims to have inside knowledge about the grisly Mount Tabor Park murder—and Archie cant risk losing his only lead in the case. At least, thats what he tells himself after he agrees to visit Gretchen…But the ties between Archie and Gretchen have always been stronger, deeper, and more complex than hes willing to admit, even to himself. What game is Gretchen playing this time? And even more frightening, what long-hidden secrets from her past have been dredged up that someone would kill to protect?

 “Masterful on every level.”—Booklist
