Beauty of Fear
THE BEAUTY OF FEAR
The First One died to pique her interest,
The Second to touch her soul.
The Third One died to steal her peace,
The Fourth makes Fear, his goal.
Violence leaves an indelible stain on the soul. The fear it breeds can never truly be erased-only hidden away, waiting for the right moment to resurface.
Leigh Ramirez thought she'd endured enough: an abusive marriage, raising two children alone, and surviving two near-death experiences on the job. All she wants now is normalcy, which is why she walked away from police work to start fresh.
But when a young woman is found dead in a local park clutching something belonging to Leigh, she's unwillingly pulled back into the world she abandoned. As more victims appear-each bearing an unsettling resemblance to Leigh-it becomes clear that someone is orchestrating a twisted game.
This killer wants Leigh to experience fear in its most primal form. To live it. To breathe it. To be consumed by it.
With each victim, another piece of Leigh's hard-won peace shatters. Even as friends urge her to hide, she refuses to retreat. But facing this predator will require confronting her deepest fears, as the killer sets sights on what matters most-her children's lives and her own. And as if navigating a serial killer's deadly obsession weren't complicated enough, Leigh finds herself falling for her best friend, blurring the lines between ally and something more at the worst possible time.
Some nightmares don't end when you wake up. Some follow you home.
