Something Wicked This Way Dies
Diane Lockwood buries the dead for a living. She's very good at making sure some of them get there early.
In the funeral home her family has run for three generations, Diane has learned exactly how much a body can tell you, and exactly how little anyone looks twice at a woman who spends her days around corpses. She doesn't see herself as a murderer. She sees herself as a correction, stepping in wherever someone tries to play God with a death that was never theirs to decide.
Two counties over, Detective Jo Reyes-Callahan is working a different kind of monster: a killer using a home health aide's badge to get inside the houses of medically fragile kids. Jo is sharp, relentless, and carrying a code of her own, one that doesn't always stay on the right side of a warrant.
Neither woman knows the other exists. Both are about to be tested by men who think they're untouchable. And when a courthouse hallway puts Diane and Jo face to face, two killers who've never been caught size each other up without either one realizing what she's looking at.
They will walk away from each other. Whether they should have is another question.
A dual-perspective thriller for readers who found the moral certainty of Dexter too comfortable.
