“Book Descriptions:Sheriff Heidi Kick is on a deadly hunt for a serial killer while also in the midst of a hotly contested reelection campaign in the third thrilling novel in the “fast-paced and utterly addictive” (Lori Rader-Day, author of Under a Dark Sky) Bad Axe County series.
Sheriff Heidi Kick has a mysterious dead body on her hands—a homeless young man who was buried alive. Chillingly, this matches a haunting recurring nightmare Kick has been having ever since she began suspecting she is pregnant again.
Facing an ugly fight for reelection and afraid to start a rumor by going to the doctor or the drugstore, the sheriff keeps her pregnancy a secret even from her husband and three children. While a record heat wave suffocates remote rural Wisconsin, Kick races to unravel a bizarre and complex serial killer case, while also dealing with vicious political attacks and the troubling behavior of one of her twin boys. As the relentless heat bears down and more bodies are discovered, the sheriff’s community and family all quickly rise to a devastating boiling point.” DRIVE
