Cold Heart
Cross my heart and hope to die...
With the death of the serial killer who kidnapped and tortured her as a child, Charleston Police Detective Ellie Kline is finally free. But with a traumatized girl to care for and a new lead detective who questions both her mental health and her investigation techniques, Ellie’s problems are far from over.
When the body of a young man is found outside a downtown bar, Ellie is pulled off the cold case files and assigned to investigate the homicide. This isn’t a typical murder scene, but it’s one that’s chillingly familiar. The removal of the victim’s heart and the letters C and K written in the victim’s blood indicate the work of a serial killer who chooses one victim per year...on Valentine’s Day.
But as the body count grows, it seems their killer has gotten hungrier for hearts. Now, it’s up to Ellie to find him before he claims his next Valentine.
The terrifying search for a killer turns heart-stopping, literally, in Cold Heart, the tenth book of Mary Stone’s best-selling Ellie Kline Series. Tempted to use a dating app? Think again.
