Pierce Reed/ Nikki Gillette Series

When Savannah, Georgia’s most hated woman is set free, one mother’s long ago crime ignites a new killing spree in #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson’s blockbuster Southern thriller featuring crime writer Nikki Gillette and Detective Pierce Reed. Now in paperback and perfect for fans of Melinda Leigh, Sandra Brown, and Lisa Gardner.

The most hated woman in Savannah, Georgia, is about to be set free. Twenty years ago, Blondell O’Henry was convicted of murdering her eldest daughter, Amity, and wounding her two other children. The prosecution argued that beautiful, selfish Blondell wanted to be rid of them to be with her lover. But Blondell’s son has now recanted his testimony and demolished the case in the process . . .

Reporter Nikki Gillette is determined to get the truth, and not just for professional reasons. Amity was Nikki’s childhood friend. The night she died, Amity begged Nikki to meet with her, insisting she had a secret to tell, but Nikki didn’t go. Wracked with guilt, as Nikki digs for answers, her fiancé, Detective Pierce Reed, worries for her safety. Everyone involved seems to have secrets. And somehow, the events of that tragic night connect to Nikki’s own fractured family.

But now the killing has begun again. Is Amity’s murderer still at large, or is this a new, darker danger? Soon Nikki will discover what really happened twenty years ago, but the answers may come too late to save her life . . .

HIS VICTIMS . . .
A woman is frantic as she awakens in a dark, closed space. From above her comes the muffled sound of cruel laughter, followed by the hard splatter of dirt. Pure terror takes over as she realizes she’s being buried alive—and her last breath is a scream that no one but a sadistic killer will hear . . .
 
WILL TAKE HIS SECRETS . . . To journalist Nikki Gillette, this disturbing story is a ticket out of small-town Savannah and on to the big time. She’s already given the killer a nickname—The Grave Robber—and she’s spending every minute dogging tough cop Pierce Reed’s investigation, trailing him through Savannah’s deep thickets and crumbling cemeteries…even though she’s starting to wonder about the secrets he’s keeping . . .
 
TO THE GRAVE
Another body is found. And another. Each gruesome discovery unnerves Nikki a little more…there’s something familiar about it, something she should know. Now, as a serial killer pulls her ever deeper into his sick game, she has no idea how close she’s getting to the truth—or how deadly it will be . . .

Beyond the old-world charm and jasmine-scented air of Savannah, Georgia, there are dark secrets swirling, and one woman finds herself at the heart of a nightmare in this atmospheric suspense thriller from #1 bestselling author Lisa Jackson.

Book 1 in the blockbuster Pierce Reed and Nikki Gillette Series is now in trade paperback for the first time!

The dream is vivid and terrifying. In it, Caitlyn sees her estranged husband’s body slumped over his desk, his lifeless eyes unblinking. But the reality Caitlyn wakes to is even worse. She’s covered in blood, with no memory of the night before. When the police arrive, they confirm that Josh has been found dead in a suspected homicide.

Being part of one of Savannah’s most influential and wealthy families puts Caitlyn at the center of rumors and whispers. Everyone knows her relationship with Josh had disintegrated after a tragic loss, and he was preparing to divorce her, taking as much of her fortune as he could. Even her twin sister, Kelly, seems determined to keep her distance once Caitlyn becomes a prime suspect. With no one else to turn to, Caitlyn consults the town’s new psychologist, though she dreads discovering what happens during her increasingly frequent blackouts.

Yet there’s more to fear. One by one, those closest to her are dying in grisly ways. And only time will tell whether Caitlyn will turn out to be the next in the killer’s sights—or guilty of crimes too terrible to remember . . .
