Cause to Hide (An Avery Black Mystery-Book 3)
Boston, une série de cadavres calcinés sème la terreur. Avery Black, détective controversée et brillante, doit percer l’esprit torturé d’un pyromane tueur avant qu’il ne frappe encore.
"A dynamic story line that grips from the first chapter and doesn't let go."
--Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan (regarding Once Gone)
From #1 bestselling mystery author Blake Pierce comes a new masterpiece of psychological suspense: CAUSE TO HIDE (An Avery Black Mystery-Book 3).
Bodies are being found in the outskirts of Boston, their corpses burned beyond recognition, as the police realize a new serial killer is roaming the streets. As the media converges and the pressure is upped, the Boston Police Department must turn to its most brilliant-and controversial-homicide detective: Avery Black.
Avery, still trying to pick up the pieces of her own life-her budding relationship with Ramirez, her reconciliation with Rose-suddenly finds herself thrown into the most challenging case of her career. With scant evidence to follow, she must enter the mind of a psychotic killer, try to understand his obsession with fire, and what clues that offers into his personality. Her trail leads her deep into Boston's worst neighborhoods, to confrontations with its worst psychopaths-and finally, to a twist she could never possibly imagine.
In a game of psychological cat and mouse, a frantic race against time, Avery is led too deep into the maze of a killer's mind, and to places darker than she'd ever wish to see.
A psychological thriller with heart-pounding suspense, CAUSE TO HIDE is book #3 of a riveting new series-with a beloved new character-that will leave you turning pages late into the night.
Book #4 in the Avery Black series will be available soon.
"A masterpiece of thriller and mystery. Pierce did a magnificent job developing characters with a psychological side, so well described that we feel inside their minds, follow their fears and cheer for their success. The plot is very intelligent and will keep you entertained throughout the book. Full of twists, this book will keep you awake until the turn of the last page."
