Silent Mayhem — Sue Coletta

HE has left a trail of beheadings. SHE is working for the cops but when he warns her she will be next, how can Shawnee Daniels believe—or trust—a vicious serial killer? When a familiar crow drops a cryptic scroll at Shawnee Daniels' feet, she's compelled to open it, even though everything in her power warns her not to. Mr. Mayhem—the most prolific serial killer the North Shore has ever known—claims her life is in danger. He claims he wants to help her, but just last year he threatened to murder everyone she loves. While Mayhem taunts her with oddly-placed feathers, like The Creator left at his crime scenes, an interstate killing spree rocks Massachusetts and New Hampshire. A madman is decapitating men and women, dumping their headless corpses on two area beaches. But what Shawnee soon uncovers shatters all she's ever known, her memories shredded, the whispers of the past in shambles on the ground. Can she find the strength to move forward, or will the truth destroy her?
