Scream City (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781250369772)

Her grandfather was a serial killer. His father was the cop who put him in jail. Now a string of copycat murders puts them both in the crosshairs-and on the suspect list in USA Today's bestselling author Hannah Morrissey's electrifying new novel.

Milwaukee, 1997-- In the eighties, the Cream City Killer, known as CCK, made Walker's Point his hunting ground. His reign of terror gave a new name to Milwaukee's oldest neighborhood: Scream City.

Back then, if anyone had told Rex Hale that things were about to get worse for him, he'd have thought they were yanking his chain. He's already divorced, suspended from the police force, and serving eviction notices for a developer dead-set on gentrifying the place. The only way things could get worse is if--

The next guy he serves winds up murdered. In cold blood. Rex's papers still fluttering nearby.

The crime appears to be the work of a copycat, someone paying homage to CCK. Rex is questioned, of course, along with Alice Foster--CCK's granddaughter and owner of a haunted bookstore that has yet to be evicted. Sparks have crackled between Alice and Rex for years. He wants to believe she's innocent, but the evidence is stacking up against her.

So are the bodies.

The killer has turned Rex's paper route into their own personal path of destruction. If there's any chance at saving Walker's Point and clearing both of their names, Alice and Rex--two people no one trusts--will have to trust each other. But in order to suss out the killer, they'll have to look at the past and exhume a long-buried clue the original investigation missed.

If they don't solve it soon, the development is the least of their worries, because Scream City is hellbent on living up to its name. And this time, no one gets out alive.
