Killer Plot

Their fate isn’t carved in stone. It’s written in blood.
Three months ago, Special Agent Stella Knox finally took down the man she’s spent her entire career chasing—the man responsible for her father’s death. Now she and Special Agent Hagen Yates are enjoying a well-deserved leave of absence in a secluded cabin in rural Pennsylvania, where the snow falls heavy, the fire crackles, and the silence feels almost too perfect.

Until they discover a body.

Hanging upside down from a tree in the icy woods, a psychiatric patient from the nearby hospital has been ritualistically killed—his throat slit, his blood drained, and cryptic symbols carved with chilling precision into his flesh. The word written in the ancient language of gods and demons portends what’s to come.

Death.

The storm trapping them in this isolated town is no longer their greatest threat. With a killer hiding in their midst, Stella’s instincts tell her the hospital holds answers—but are they unraveling a murderer’s motives or awakening something far darker? In a town suffocating under snow and terror, the line between sanity and madness blurs, and no one is safe from what’s coming next.

Brace yourself for the shocking twists and unrelenting suspense of Killer Plot, the thirteenth pulse-pounding installment in the Stella Knox Series by bestselling authors Mary Stone and Stacy O’Hare.
