IT TAKES ONE

Kate Kessler

First installment of a brand new thriller series in the vein of Copycat, Dexter, Rizzoli and Isles, Karen Rose, Lisa Jackson, Tess Gerritsen, and Chelsea Cain.

Audrey Harte is a criminal psychologist who uses her own dark past to help law enforcement track down the most dangerous killers. Much like Dexter, Audrey is an anti-hero: she's not broken, but bent and dented. She is dark, with a dash of self-destructiveness and a lot of baggage—in short, a great series character.

The novel is set in Edgeport, a sleepy small town on the south-east shore—one that could easily serve as a backdrop for a Stephen King novel, and one that Audrey calls home. Returning home after seven years, she'll have to face the whispers and the rumors that have haunted her family since she left. Because when Audrey was thirteen, she and her best friend Maggie killed Maggie's abusive father.

Her first night back in town ends in a fight with a drunken Maggie, with her old crush Jake to witness it all. Audrey can't believe it can get worse. Then Maggie turns up dead. Now, Audrey has to find out who the murderer is—before everyone decides that she is to blame. And before the murderer can set their sights on her.
And who says there are no secrets in a small town?
