My Sin

by Carla Landreth

It is said that a person's scent can tell a lot about them. Who we are, our mood, even our personalities, but what if a particular scent was a motive for murder? Someone is drugging, raping and strangling young beautiful women in a small Texas town. FBI Agent Holden McBray has discovered his new case involves a serial killer whoes calling card is drenching victims in My Sin perfume-a-perfume that has not been manufactured since the 1970's. Agent McBray joins forces with a woman from his past, Alex Pendleton, the woman who saved his career seven years ago. Together they form a list of suspects, including a holy-roller Baptist preacher, a straight-and-narrow strip joint owner, a drug addicted ex-convict, a sleazy landlord, and an unsuspecting mentally challenged person who will cover for them all. As the two delve deeper into the case, it is becoming cold and quickly. With not much more than a small sample of DNA that doesn't match any suspects, they soon discover the killer stalks before he kills, and his next planned target is none other than Alex.
