Skeletons in the Closet: The Paisley Hunter Detective Files (Book 2)

By Alan Wade Hounshell

Still recovering from her first confrontation with the Black Market Syndicate (a ruthless global crime organization) and almost being killed by a cannibalistic serial killer, Paisley Hunter, a retired former CPD Detective, now a private detective and consultant for the Kentucky State Police, continues to deal with a multitude of cases, her multiple sclerosis symptoms, and her buried emotional issues that test her limits. Paisley is not the only one with issues as her daughter Kansas begins to address her post-traumatic stress associated with the Butcher ordeal, which has lately been causing her to hallucinate and feel extremely on edge.

Life becomes more chaotic when a mysterious woman appears out of nowhere, claiming she is Paisley's sister. On top of familial stress, Paisley and her state police detective boyfriend are taking on counterfeiters and a serial killer strangling and crucifying women on national park trees across the United States. There are many twists and turns as things unfold and secrets are revealed, indicating everyone has a skeleton in their closet.

Who is this mysterious woman claiming to be Paisley's sister, and what are her intentions? Who's behind the counterfeiting operation, and why would anyone want it near Fester, Kentucky? Will the Tree Crucifixion Killer (TCK) continue to leave a trail of strangled, crucified women in forests?
