The Third Grave

For lovers of Sandra Brown and Iris Johansen, the popular author of You Betrayed Me returns with an exciting new crime book! Go back to Savannah, Georgia's seedy underbelly, where a crime writer and her detective husband are investigating a long-cold case and chasing a serial killer.

The historic Beaumont estate is a decaying shell of the magnificent building that it once was, especially after a catastrophic hurricane that ravages Georgia. More than just shingles and shutters are displaced by the storm. It leads to a macabre discovery in the basement. Three tombs. Only two skeletons, though...

Nikki views the discovery as a gift and the ideal topic for her upcoming mystery novel, even if Reed has vowed to refrain from continuing to get involved in delicate police matters. But Nikki can't help but be drawn into this story, even as their tension grows. There are many rumors that the Duval sisters, three little girls who went to the movies with their elder brother, Owen, twenty years ago and never came back, are buried at the burial site. The remains are indeed those of Holly and Poppy Duval, according to forensics. But Rose, the youngest sister, where is she?

With or without an alibi, Owen Duval was and is still the key suspect. However, when Nikki and Reed investigate the mystery more, gaps in the case start to appear. More exists behind the sisters' disappearance than anyone could have imagined. Those fatalities weren't an isolated incident; they were simply the start. And until the killer has buried the twisted truth with his victims, there will be no peace or surrendering.
