KINDLE

In this gritty Taylor Jackson novel from New York Times bestselling author J.T. Ellison, a homicide detective falls into a darker fairy tale when an infamous storybook killer seems to return.

Lieutenant Taylor Jackson is no stranger to brutality, but her latest case shakes her to the core. The victims―with their pale skin, black hair, and ruby-red lips―recall a nightmare Nashville suffered decades ago. The Snow White Killer slaughtered ten princess look-alikes and was never caught.

A copycat is methodically recreating the Snow White murders, studying the original crimes and perfecting the craft. As Taylor fights to identify him before he completes his twisted homage, the investigation pulls her into a conspiracy that hits closer to home than she ever imagined.

Even with her own father missing and her wedding just days away, Taylor won’t stop until she has taken down this chilling protégé. But her pursuit of justice may destroy her own fairy-tale ending.
