Crime reporter
Britt Montero gets more than she bargained for when a serial killer
picks her as his confidante in the tenth book of an acclaimed mystery
series from Pulitzer Prize–winning author Edna Buchanan.
Five years ago, a newly reunited
family—a Marine, his loving wife, and their baby girl—set out on a road
trip only to vanish. Their bodies were found two weeks later, gruesomely
murdered. Their unrepentant killer was put behind bars and sentenced to
death. Shortly before his execution, he reaches out to the only
reporter he ever allowed an interview—
Miami News reporter Britt Montero.
Britt is no longer with the paper
and tells the murderer she wants nothing to do with him. But when a book
editor from New York asks her to write a book about her crime
reporting, Britt mentions her recent correspondence, and the editor
persuades her to visit him on Death Row. Reluctantly pulled back into
the fray, Britt is horrified to learn the killer has a few revelations:
He had a female partner on the murders. She was never caught, and she
remains dangerous, armed, and on the loose…
From an author who “is a master of her craft” (
Library Journal),
Dead Man’s Daughter is an exciting new installment in the Britt Montero mystery series.
