About this item
A brand new heart-stopping series from a USA Today bestselling author. No sooner has Alexis Stone been sworn in as the interim sheriff for Russell County, Tennessee, when a serial killer dubbed the Queen's Gambit Killer strikes again--this time in her hometown. Pearl Springs is just supposed to be a temporary stop along the way to Alex's real dream: becoming the first female police chief of Chattanooga. But the killer's calling card--a white pawn and a note with a chess move printed on it--cannot be ignored.. Pearl Springs chief of police Nathan Landry can't believe that his high school sweetheart Alexis (he refuses to call her Alex) is back in town, and he can't help wanting to protect the woman he never stopped loving. But as the danger mounts and the killer closes in, can Nathan come through on the promises he makes to himself to bring a killer to justice before it's too late.
About the Author
the ground, like Old Faithful, seemingly prompted by their own force alone. Rather, what came to be accepted and what came to be rejected, or simply forgotten, had most to do with the levers of influence of their time. What gets a place at our cultural table is not based on merit alone--rising to the top like cream--but from the levers of influence that allow certain products to be served up while other worthy entrees stay in the kitchen.
