Monroe Donovan Novel

When columnist Monroe Donovan receives an obituary notice with the date of death two days in the future, she dismisses it as a typo. Then, a second incorrect obituary comes in, and a woman whose name matches the name of the deceased is murdered-on the date listed in the obituary. Now, Monroe realizes that something much more sinister is happening. A serial killer is trying to communicate with her. She turns to Detective Lane Brody for help, but her attraction to him is complicating her already complicated life. And when the killer turns out to have a disturbing connection to Monroe, complications turn deadly.

For more than twenty-five years, a series of unsolved murders has haunted newspaper columnist, Monroe Donovan. One of those victims was Monroe's best friend, Katie, who was snatched from Monroe's back yard when they were only twelve years old. Hours later, Katie's body was found, but the killer was never caught. The most recent murder was over two years ago. It seems the monster has finally stopped. After a promotion from obituary columnist to crime writer, Monroe begins publishing a series of articles on the murders, hoping to uncover information that will lead the police to solve the case. But, rather than helping find the killer, it appears the articles might have woken a sleeping maniac. A young girl is brutally slain and the M.O. is eerily similar to the others...except the killer has added a twist that points directly to Monroe. When more young girls are murdered, and someone close to Monroe is kidnapped, Monroe becomes embroiled in a game of cat and mouse. But what the cat doesn't know is that the mouse can play games, too...and with stakes this high, Monroe is determined to come out the winner.
