The Murder of Emma Brown — Rod Kackley

Friends don't kill friends, do they? Two eighteen-year-old women go out for a night of cruising and partying in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Only one returns home. Now, Major Crimes Division inspectors William Gagnon and Scarlett Gauthier have to find a killer. Someone so evil they beat and strangled a woman to death with bare hands and a leather belt. It had to be a man, right? How could another woman have done this? Oh, a woman could have done this-- a woman who learns how easy it is to cross that line between guilt and innocence and how hard it is to shoulder the burden of knowing you've committed a truly heinous crime. Murder is no stranger to Saskatoon. Still, The Murder of Emma Brown, inspired by the shocking true crime short story, Her Best Friend's Killer, stuns this blue-collar Canadian community. The pressure's on Inspectors Gagnon and Gauthier.

Friends. Kill. Friends. The Murder of Emma Brown, a thrilling, page-turning crime novel you'll never forget.
