Savage Legacy
The deeper she digs, the more the dead rise.
When FBI Special Agent Claire Legacy agreed to tour one of New Orleans’s haunted cemeteries with her sister, she expected bodies.
She just expected the bodies to be buried.
Not stabbed and left in the arms of an angel statue.
But the dead young man is only the first.
In Biloxi, Mississippi, a kidnapped teen is found inside a submerged van. The teen and young man in the cemetery are both tied to a kidnapping case gone wrong—the ransom was paid but everyone involved is turning up dead.
A third victim has vanished without a trace.
As the death toll rises and Claire and her partner descend into a case tangled in lies, grudges, and buried connections, Claire comes to a horrifying conclusion.
Someone is hunting a group of friends. And they’re not finished yet.
In a city where shadows whisper from the grave, it’s only a matter of time before the missing boy becomes the next name on a growing list of the dead. Unless Claire finds him—and the killer—first.
Savage Legacy, the intriguing fifth book in the Claire Legacy FBI series by bestselling authors Mary Stone and Alex Gates, blurs the lines between friends and enemies—because the only weapon that cuts as deep as a knife is betrayal.
