Love Kills - by Edna Buchanan (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

When a bulldozer in the Everglades turns up a skeleton that belonged to an infamous kidnapper--the Custody Crusader--the Cold Case Squad is brought in to investigate. Britt Montero, a reporter for the Miami News, was the last person to see him alive, and the detectives have questions that only she can answer. But the problem is, Britt vanished after her lover--homicide cop Kendall McDonald--was murdered.

Recovering from her loss on a Caribbean island, Britt stumbles upon a disposable camera with photos of a happy young couple. When the news reports the disappearance of newlyweds at sea, Britt realizes the pictures in the camera are of the lost bride and groom. After the groom is rescued--alone--Britt and the grieving widower form a fragile bond, until Britt uncovers a shocking secret.

As Britt's hunt for the Honeymoon Killer collides with the Cold Case Squad's pursuit of the Crusader's murderer, Britt finds herself desperate and in danger. With nowhere left to turn, Britt must seek help from the one person she never wanted to face: Cold Case Squad Lieutenant K. C. Riley, Kendall's childhood sweetheart. To survive--and to protect the life of someone they both care about--the two women must put aside their past and face the danger together.
