The Puppeteer

By: Breaux, Melanie

Kelli Gray is a law student at the University of Pennsylvania. After overcoming a difficult past fraught with personal loss and addiction, Kelli's life is finally stable. But her hard-won peace is shattered the night she witnesses the brutal murder of her best friend Nikki at the school. The attack is one in a rash of murders by a killer known as the Puppeteer. The slayings throw the university and the entire city into hysteria. Floyd Cane, a former university maintenance engineer, now lives on the streets in order to avoid his memory-filled house where his wife and two daughters were killed one year earlier. Floyd's oldest daughter was a Penn Law student, and he is convinced that his family's death is somehow linked to the current Puppeteer slayings. Cops dismiss Floyd's suspicions as the madness of a vagrant's unhinged mind, but certain evidence supports Floyd's theories and Kelli slowly begins to listen. The discovery of yet another victim propels this unlikely pair into a race to find the killer, and the clock is ticking. Kelli and Floyd soon uncover the dark, sadistic secret past of someone familiar to both of them---a secret that may just be the key to finding the Puppeteer. And one that forces Kelli to confront the ghosts of her own painful past, and face the terrifying possibility that she herself has more to do with the murders than she ever imagined. The Puppeteer is a taut, fast-paced thriller with a tightly spooled plot that will keep you turning pages right up to its riveting conclusion.
