About this item
"There's something mesmerizing about Hiebert's storytelling voice." --The New York Times Book ReviewA case from the past sparks a nightmare for Detective Leah Teal in Michael Hiebert's masterful new novel of suspense. Fifteen years ago, a serial killer tagged by the media as the Stickman spread terror throughout Alabama and became Alvin detective Joe Fowler's obsession. After fifteen months and nine victims, Harry Stork was identified as the Stickman and Fowler shot him dead. The killings stopped. For a while. Now, more bodies are turning up, each staked through the chest with a stick-figure drawing in the killer's signature style. Detective Leah Teal - Joe Fowler's daughter and Alvin's sole detective - receives a letter before each victim is found, just like her late father did.
