Killen: A Small Town with a Big Secret (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798650730989)

Killen was a small farming community in North Georgia. Anyone wanting to know what it was like to live there, only had to read a small wooden sign on the outskirts of town: "Welcome to Killen...a little piece of Heaven." Those words rang true for most of Killen's first 200 years. But there was one exception. It was the time that Killen lived up to its name and a little piece of heaven...became...a little piece of hell. When Thomas Dalton was 13-years-old, a string of murders in a North Georgia received unwanted national attention. With the passing of time, facts got distorted, turning Killen into a macabre tourist destination. But for Thomas, it became personal when his own parents, suddenly disappeared and were subsequently declared dead. He goes to school to become an investigative reporter and gets a job at a national cable television station. Thomas then is assigned to a national case tracking down a serial killer. What Thomas doesn't realize is the serial killer he is looking for, will not only solve a national mystery it will also solve his own mystery. Throughout Thomas's journey he is driven to find out who killed his parents. But he also desperately wants to restore the reputation of Killen and rebuild the family business.

The only question that remains is...can he make Killen a little piece of heaven once again?
