The fear . . .
Malcolm York is a sadistic monster, guilty of unspeakable crimes. And with his endless wealth, he's funded a series of depraved hunts. The few who survived can never forget. They can only be thankful the terror is over--until rumors start swirling.
Only stops . . .
Griffin Powell knows the twisted depths of York's madness. He's also sure that York is dead. But then Griff's wife Nicole disappears, and the phone calls begin--that familiar voice taunting him, promising to destroy everything Griff loves.
When you die.
Using all the resources of the Powell Agency, Griff searches for Nic, aware that every step propels him further into a madman's web--because the only way to keep Nic safe is to join one last perverse game in which the winner kills all and the loser is dead by nightfall.
Review
Praise for the works of Beverly Barton:
''Masterful!'' --Linda Howard, New York Times bestselling author on Cold Hearted
Praise for Dead by Morning :
''The popular and dependable Barton has again created an intricately plotted, thoroughly engrossing serial killer tale that satisfactorily resolves the current dilemmas but leaves a stunning cliff-hanger.'' --Library Journal
''The second 'Dead' thriller [Dead by Morning]is a great romantic suspense that grips the audience from the moment the protagonists begin to learn of the assault on Powell and never lets go as the climax diabolically leads to the next unpublished tale. The lead pair is a terrific coupling . . . However, what makes Dead by Morning super is the serial killer, who will be considered one of the vilest of the year.'' -- Mystery Gazette
Praise for As Good as Dead :
''A powerful story that kept me up very late--with all the lights on.'' --Kay Hooper, New York Times bestselling author
