A killer’s calling card resurfaces in the chilling next installment of the Touch of Evil series by USA Today Bestselling Author Kennedy Layne...
When the family of Lila Hartman turns to S&E Investigations, they’re convinced their daughter was the fourth victim of a murderer who was supposed to be long gone. More than a decade ago, the Photograph Killer terrorized Ohio, sending two Polaroids to local newspapers: one capturing his victim alive, the other showing her strangled with a yellow scarf just twenty-four hours later.
Three murders were officially linked to him—until Lila’s body surfaced after the killing spree had seemingly ended. Her case went cold. Forgotten.
Until now.
Hidden among a box of undelivered mail from a shuttered newspaper, a Polaroid of Lila surfaces—proof that the Photograph Killer had claimed at least one more victim. With new evidence in hand, Brooklyn Sloane and her team trace the killer’s dark path back to a small Ohio town where his reign of terror first began. But the town guards its secrets—and its sinners—closely. No one welcomes outsiders, especially those digging into a past they’ve tried to bury. As Brook unearths the truth, she’s haunted by a deeper, personal mystery: the disappearance of her brother, Jacob Walsh. His body was never recovered. His fate remains unknown. And sometimes, in the quietest moments, she can still feel him watching.
