A TESS MONAGHAN MYSTERY
Reporter turned Private Investigator Tess Monaghan knows all about the darker side of human nature. But she never expected to be on the receiving end of a court sentence to attend six months' counselling for Anger Management.
The Maryland State Police are sure that the serial killer Tess is now looking for is dead. So he can't be a threat. Can he? But he is very much alive and has found another victim to stalk: Tess.
