Bone Yard

But if he’s now dying in state prison, who arranged her remains?Next come the fires. Arson. Two houses, at first, no obvious connection.Then the district attorney turns up. Belly up, actually, his body butchered and floating in his own lake-house pool.Detective Jaxon Jennings and his partner, Ray Maningham, are as lost as everyone else. Who’s behind these grisly murders? And how are they connected to a lunatic their department put behind bars years ago?As the body count rises, the cold realization descends that this is something altogether new. A copycat, maybe, but a hunter far angrier, far more savage than his predecessor.With no predictable pattern to track—the killer targets victims of both sexes, of any age—Jaxon and his team must dig deep into the secrets of the past to prevent a future slaughter. But the corpses are piling up. And the killer is now targeting kids.Fan-favorite author Richard C Hale returns with Florida’s gutsiest detective, Jaxon Jennings, who must stop the vilest serial killer since Ted Bundy—before he turns the Sunshine State into America’s biggest open-air bone yard.
