Bishop Smoky Mountain Thrillers

Rileigh Bishop left her nightmares behind, but a gruesome murder calls her back. In a race against a shadowy killer, her life hangs in the balance. Ex-police officer Rileigh Bishop never wanted to come back to her hometown. But when a teenage girl is found dead with her tongue cut out, she must return. After all, that's the same way Rileigh's sister died. Reluctantly, she joins forces with the county sheriff to solve the brutal murder. The locals maintain a strict code of silence. The narrow mountain roads winding through Appalachia are fraught with peril. As Rileigh dives deeper into the case, she not only unearths connections between this murder and her sister's death but also dark family secrets. Secrets that should've remained buried. When the investigation nearly ends her life, she must find her resolve to solve the crime. Fast. Because she's the killer's next target. Hide Me Away is the debut novel from author Lauren Street and the first book in The Bishop Smoky Mountain Thrillers series.

Three tourists burned alive. Two disgraced cops. One deranged killer. Ex-police officer Rileigh Bishop is just trying to be friendly when she gives directions to an impatient tourist. Five hours later, the same tourist is dead. The only evidence? A lit match and the lingering smell of gasoline. It's the first of three murders, all tourists, all burned alive. Rileigh is no stranger to horrific murders. When she's hired as a private investigator, she teams up with the recently fired local sheriff to uncover the connection between the victims, but the facts don't add up. Why would someone set a stranger on fire? And what do the deaths have to do with the looming meteor shower? It's a race against the clock for Rileigh and the former sheriff-can they find the killer before more people burn? Fuel to the Flame is the second book in The Bishop Smoky Mountain Thrillers series by Lauren Street.

Ex-police officer Rileigh Bishop thought she was done with her aunt after the old woman was committed to a psychiatric hospital for attacking Rileigh with a chainsaw. She was wrong. The elderly women inside the hospital are disappearing. When they are finally found, they have been horrifically murdered. Eaten by rats. Decapitated. Left on a grave holding a single red rose. Now, someone else has gone missing. Someone more important than they seem. Once again, Rileigh must team up with Sheriff Webster to find the killer. Only this time, the killer knows Rileigh's coming. And they've got plans for her. Closer by the Hour is the third book in The Bishop Smoky Mountain Thriller series by Lauren Street.
