A Gripping Crime Thriller and Police Procedural

Detective Madison Knight Book 1

From international bestselling author Carolyn Arnold comes a gripping police procedural that will have Detective Madison Knight trusting her instincts when the evidence suggests a serial killer is just getting started.

Two dead women. Two identical neckties. One deadly pattern.

When a woman is found strangled in her own bed, the spotless crime scene suggests a killer who planned every move. But Detective Madison Knight spots a photograph on the nightstand—one detail that tells her this murder wasn’t random.

Before Madison can determine what it means, a second victim is found strangled with the exact same brand of tie. Madison realizes she isn’t looking for a disgruntled lover—she’s hunting a serial killer who leaves nothing to chance.

As the clues begin to click together, Madison uncovers the killer’s pattern. If she’s right, he’s already hunting his next victim, and she’s running out of time to stop him before he strikes again.
