Sheriff Detective Kendall Stark Books

"Wickedly clever! Genuinely twisted." —Lisa Gardner "As Good As It Gets." —Lee Child The bodies are found in towns and cities around Puget Sound. The young women who are the victims had nothing in common—except the agony of their final moments. But somebody carefully chose them to stalk, capture, and torture. . .a depraved killer whose cunning is matched only by the depth of his bloodlust. But the dying has only just begun. And next victim will be the most shocking of all. . . Praise for Gregg Olsen's Novels "Grabs you by the throat." —Kay Hooper "An Irresistible Page-Turner." —Kevin O'Brien “The fifth Waterman and Stark thriller from the very talented Gregg Olsen . . . it’s truly a great read.” — Mystery Scene Magazine

The first time was easy. No one ever suspected the victim had been murdered. The crime was long buried, but the dark passions guiding the killer's hand are still alive-a hunger for revenge that cannot be denied. Only one person can stop the killing. Only one person can identify the killer. Only one person knows the face of death is as close as the face in the mirror.... Like a Doberman with a rag doll, Gregg Olsen knows how to sink his teeth in and toss readers about. With Closer Than Blood, he delivers another of his riveting thrillers-an intelligent, heart-stopping read with three dimensional characters, wrenching plot twists and a terrifying exploration of the killing mind
