And he's no longer the only target.

About the author

Chris Culver is the New York Times bestselling author of the Ash Rashid series of mysteries. After graduate school, Chris taught courses in ethics and comparative religion at a small liberal arts university in southern Arkansas. While there and when he really should have been grading exams, he wrote The Abbey, which spent sixteen weeks on the New York Times bestseller's list and introduced the world to Detective Ash Rashid.

Chris has been a storyteller since he was a kid, but he decided to write crime fiction after picking up a dog-eared, coffee-stained paperback copy of Mickey Spillane's I, the Jury in a library book sale. Many years later, his wife, despite considerable effort, still can't stop him from bringing more orphan books home. The two of them, along with a labrador retriever named Roy, reside near St. Louis where Chris is hard at work on his next novel.

Reviews

A difficult subject, but you gave it justice

I am not sure what I think about Melissa... A survivor is probably the kindest thought.

The residents of Hollis were truly cowards, and perhaps subliminally cruel.

Another fabulous Chris Culver novel

It never ceases to amaze me how Chris Culver can draw the reader into the story, making it extremely difficult to stop reading. I finished this one at 4:15 a.m. ! Read this one. You won't be disappointed.

Good read. Good story. I liked the references to books and libraries.

Everything He Said…Twisted truth

Quick easy read about a backwoods group of religious zealots.
Not quite a suspense but more so a woman’s love and faith in her husband.
