Paradise Valley

BOOK DESCRIPTION

She almost caught him once. Now, he’s back – with a vengeance.

For three years, Investigator Cassie Dewell has been on the hunt for a serial killer known as the Lizard King, whose hunting grounds are the highways and truck stops where runaways and prostitutes are most likely to vanish. Working for the Bakken County, North Dakota sheriff’s department, Cassie has set what she believes is the perfect trap. But the plan goes horribly wrong, and the blame falls on Cassie – disgraced, she loses her job and her reputation.

At the same time, Kyle Westergaard, a troubled kid whom Cassie has taken under her wing, has disappeared after telling people he’s going off on a long-planned adventure. Kyle’s grandmother begs Cassie to find him – all while Cassie plans a new trap for the Lizard King.
