She Dies in the End

By Elle Marr

To hide her darkest secret, a woman must submit to a killer's twisted demands in a shocking novel of psychological suspense from bestselling author Elle Marr.

Body broker Penny Lin keeps her distance from the past as she transports donated cadavers in Portland, Oregon, to laboratories, universities--anyone who can justly benefit from the dead. Then, among the deceased, Penny finds murder victim Cesar Velasquez, her ex-lover and a major figure in medical research, whose body comes with an anonymous warning: Don't tell a soul.

The sender knows too much about Penny and the traumas she's fled from. The grifting family members she left behind. The dark and devastating secrets she carries. To keep them hidden, Penny must comply with a killer and dispose of the dead, laundering their remains. When the blackmailer begins delivering more bodies to Penny's shop, she's torn between wanting justice for the victims and fearing her complicity in murder. Then, Penny is attacked, shattering any illusion of safety she once held.

As the maddening game continues, Penny begins to question her memories, her sanity, and how to escape a killer's twisted revenge--without becoming another body in her inventory.
