The Killing Hour – Lisa Gardner

Description

The Killing Hour by Lisa Gardner is a gripping psychological thriller that plunges readers into the searing heat of an Atlanta summer, where a ruthless serial killer stalks his victims. This chilling crime novel follows rookie FBI agent Kimberly Quincy as she’s drawn into a harrowing case involving the abduction of two young women. The killer leaves the first victim’s body along with cryptic clues pointing to the location of the second — left alive, but with little time before death claims her too.

What makes The Killing Hour especially compelling is its deeply personal angle. Kimberly, still haunted by her sister’s murder, recognises eerie parallels between the current crimes and her own tragic past. She teams up with GBI Special Agent Mac McCormack, whose career has long been shadowed by the killer’s earlier spree. Their desperate search for the next victim is a tense, time-critical race against a calculating predator who delights in taunting law enforcement.
