Because She Knew (A Katie Parker Series)

By: CR HIATT

In Book #6, Katie Parker takes on her most disturbing case yet. Detective Maldonado of the Nauset Bay Police Department was called to the woods to investigate the discovery of a dead body by two hikers. He knew right away the body belonged to a police officer who disappeared one night on his ride home from work. The killer left his I.D. and badge, along with a tattooed message on his forehead. Time passed, leads didn't pan out, and the case went cold. Almost a year later, Private Investigator, Katie Parker, dropped off evidence for a client when she heard a disturbing noise in the woods behind his house. After further investigation, she stumbled onto a man tied, gagged, and abused inside a shed, formerly used as a food shelter. When she attempted to free him, somebody knocked her out from behind. Officer Finn Nichols, the man she's been dating for a few months, arrived just as Katie was waking up, only to discover the man being confined was no longer there. After learning the home security cameras captured a figure going into the shed, Katie took the footage to her IT guy, a former police officer. She discovered the man's injuries were eerily similar to the marks on the police officer murdered a year before. There's a break in the case when Katie sees the man's image on the missing person's reports, only to learn it's too; a motorcyclist discovered the dead body after seeing dozens of black birds buzzing around. When he's also identified as a police officer, Katie fears they're dealing with a serial killer; possibly a psychopath killing cops.
