Everyone in Bracken County knows Tim Garrison. No one knows what he keeps beyond the gate. To his neighbors, Tim is dependable-a landlord, church donor, and successful businessman who is always ready to help. But Detective Mara Bell sees the pattern others refuse to face: people have disappeared after crossing onto his remote property. Julie Keene is one of them. Locked inside a steel container, Julie is still alive. She counts footsteps. Studies routines. Hides evidence. And waits for the one chance her captor believes she will never get. While Julie fights to stay one step ahead, Mara follows a trail from the latest disappearances to an unsolved marina massacre buried in the county's past. The deeper she digs, the clearer the danger becomes-and the harder it is to make a community question a man it trusts. Two women, separated by a locked gate, are racing toward the same terrible secret. One must survive long enough to be found. The other must make someone believe her before time runs out. A Killer Among Us is a tense, atmospheric Southern crime thriller filled with small-town secrets, methodical police work, cat-and-mouse suspense, and a resilient survivor who refuses to disappear. A respected man. A hidden prison. A race against time.
