The Alphabet Killer

A must-read, gripping, heart-pounding US serial killer thriller from bestselling author Keri Beevis Perfect for the fans of Karen Rose, Tess Gerritsen and Tami Hoag Twenty-Six Letters. But only one Killer?

I'd just graduated high school in Oregon when the Alphabet Killer began his reign of terror at Juniper College. Eight students were murdered, each with their surname initial carved into their bodies A to H.

When the next victim, Victim I escaped, the Alphabet Killer was revealed to be Professor Rodney Boone. He died that night when his house went up in flames.

Now, eight years later, I am a rookie police officer, and while out on patrol I discover a dead body - a student with the letter J carved deep into his flesh.

Everyone assumes it s a copycat. It has to be. Boone is dead, right? That s what all the reports said, although his actual body was never found...

As the body count rises, we race against time. Can we find the killer before he can complete the alphabet?

If you loved this try the next page-turner in the Rebecca Angell series - The Storybook Killer - a sadistic killer with a chilling agenda.

This book was previously published as Dead Letter Day and M for Murder

This was sooo predictable from the first few pages 😫 The story was good and I will try another book before I give up on the author. There was one thing that I didn't see coming, but it seemed to be chucked in and then forgotten and we moved on and it didn't really have an affect on any part of the story.
