Deadly Impulse

A High-Stakes Crime Thriller and Police Procedural

Detective Madison Knight Book 6

From international bestselling author Carolyn Arnold comes a complex police procedural that will have Detective Madison Knight trusting her instincts when everyone else is convinced a serial killer is at work.

Some murders begin with a lie. This one began generations ago.

When a sixty-eight-year-old woman is found dead outside a hospital in a wheelchair with an anti-abortion sign strapped to her back, Detective Madison Knight suspects there’s more to the scene than meets the eye. Her instincts are proven right when what appears to be a natural death is ruled murder. Soon after the victim is identified as Faye Duncan, two more bodies are discovered—Faye’s niece and a homeless man.

While her fellow detectives are convinced there’s an active serial killer, Madison sees a different pattern. The homeless man wasn’t the intended victim but collateral damage. As Madison digs deeper and traces the connection between Faye and her niece, she uncovers a decades-old family secret that may be a motive for murder.

If Madison's right, someone has spent decades protecting that secret—and they'll do whatever it takes to keep it buried.
