Kill and Run - Paperback

by Lauren Carr (Author)

Five women slaughtered. One deadly connection. And the clock is running out.

Five women with nothing in common are found brutally murdered in a quiet Washington, DC townhome. What brought these strangers together on the night they died?

For Lieutenant Murphy Thornton, USN, this is his first major murder case. He's convinced the key to solving it lies in the hidden thread that linked the victims. But as he digs deeper, the case takes a shocking personal turn.

One of the dead women is tied to his stepmother - Homicide Detective Cameron Gates - and a cold-case hit-and-run from over a decade ago that claimed her first husband's life.

Now, newlyweds Murphy Thornton and Jessica Faraday team up with the legendary Lovers in Crime to unravel a dangerous web of lies, cover-ups, and political secrets. In the high-stakes world of Washington, DC, one wrong move could make them the killer's next targets.

In the explosive first installment of the Thorny Rose Mysteries, can Murphy and Jessica stop a cunning murderer before the body count rises again?
