A Heart In The Grave

By Amy Lynn Murdock

Crescent City, TN

Detective Sierra Rayne is in the lead, chasing down the killer the local papers have dubbed The Family Man. Through the investigations, she discovers some differences that lead her to believe that there may be two killers on the loose in the community instead of one.

To make matters worse she is haunted by the ghost of a memory that she thought she had taught herself to let go of by immersing herself in her work. A midst the hunt for the murderer she finds herself caught in a collision of the past trauma and the present situations.

Can her belief in evidence, justice, and the truth help her separate her personal life from her job as an officer of the law or will the bitter truth of her past cloud her judgment and put her in the cross hairs of not one, but both killers who are hunting in the city she is trying to protect?

Zane Elliot, a veteran police officer comes home from a long shift to find that his family has been murdered. There is no question that they were slain by The Family Man in his absence.

The harsh reality sends Zane over the edge and into a mental hospital. After he is released he is inadvertently brought in on the very cases that are connected to the murder of his wife and children. Will he be able to help Sierra find the truth or will the investigation be the final straw in his own undoing?
