Book Description
The beautiful young woman's long black hair clings to her face like seaweed. As Nadine turns the body, she prays this will be different: but seeing the wounds, her prayers go unanswered. It's just like the others. An exact match to her mother's victims. Keeping her head down and refusing to let anyone get close is Agent Nadine Finch's atonement for never realising her mother Arleen was a serial killer. But when the body of a young woman is found drifting in the warm Sarasota Bay waters, right where Nadine grew up, the past she's worked so hard to keep hidden comes calling. Rushing to the scene, Nadine is the first to notice the circle carved around the girl's ring finger. It's the exact same marking Arleen left on all her victims. Suddenly, Nadine is a teenager again, watching her mother come home to their trailer in the middle of the night, covered in blood. With a heartbroken family reeling, and no witnesses or forensic evidence, Nadine has no choice but to face her demons and visit her mother in prison. When her mother whispers a name Nadine hasn't heard for years, the case takes a terrifyingly personal turn, and returning home, the bag of bloodied clothes left on Nadine's bed tells her someone is watching her every move... With her dark family history out in the open, it's not long before suspicion falls on Nadine herself. As her team turn against her, the closer she gets to her mother and this case, the more danger she's in. Time is running out. Can she catch the killer-or will she be the next victim of this dark family legacy? An unputdownable thriller that will have you racing through the pages until the final, jaw-dropping twist. Perfect for fans of Rachel Caine, Lisa Gardner and Mary Burton. Read what everyone's saying about A Killer's Daughter 'Wow!! This book!!! Where do I begin?... completely and utterly impossible to put down... literally had me on the edge of my seat. I have devoured this book in just one sitting... gripping... a superb read.'
