Book Synopsis

Now in paperback, #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson returns to the merciless winters of Grizzly Falls, Montana, pitting two of her most fascinating characters--detectives and friends Selena Alvarez and Regan Pescoli--against a serial killer with his sights set on a beautiful Montana doctor...

A sad, strange coincidence. . .that's Dr. Kacey Lambert's initial response to the deaths of two women who bear an uncanny resemblance to herself. It's not like there was any real connection between Kacey and the B-movie actress or the elementary school teacher. But Detective Selena Alvarez suspects otherwise...

One of the bodies contained traces of poison at the time of death. Selena and her partner, Detective Regan Pescoli, can find no motive for murder. But Kacey has started to notice ties between the dead women's lives and her own--all close in age, born within miles of each other. And all have links to Trace O'Halleran, the man Kacey just started dating.

The deeper Kacey digs, the more reason she has to fear. More look-alikes are dying, and the killer is getting bolder and more brutal. And Kacey knows it's only a matter of time before hers is the next name on a list of those who were born to die...

Review Quotes

"Longtime fans of the series should find this installment satisfying, as Jackson continues to develop plot points and themes established in previous tomes, detailing how her two heroines navigate the often treacherous waters of their jobs and personal lives. Newcomers should also enjoy it, as it presents a satisfying, well-written, well-executed standalone mystery, which displays a general good humor even as it ratchets up the tension with each successive chapter." --Mystery Scene on Expecting to Die

"The latest in Lisa Jackson's appealing series involving Montana detectives Regan Pescoli and Selena Alvarez, and it wastes no time gripping readers... a real page-turner, suspenseful and genuinely scary in places, and if you exclude the possibility of slaughters by the mythic Big Foot, it should keep readers guessing.
