The Smiler: Deadline

By Bailey Lynne

"Every smile hides a secret. Every secret comes with a price."

In the small Southern town of Cottonwood, Sarah Klein's brutal murder shocks the community. Left posed at her dinner table with a grotesque smile carved into her face, her death is only the beginning.

Seventeen-year-old Wren Callahan has just returned to Cottonwood, hoping to rebuild her life under the watchful eye of her controlling mother. But the town hasn't forgotten her - and neither has The Smiler, a masked killer who knows everyone's secrets... including Wren's.

As the body count rises, Wren becomes both hunter and hunted, desperate to uncover the killer's identity before her name is next on the list.

Chilling, atmospheric, and full of twists, Dead Line is the unforgettable start to a new slasher horror series you won't be able to put down.
