Dead Run
ByPublisher Description
"I'm in trouble, Liz. I've uncovered something.… They're watching.…"
That panicked message on her answering machine is the last time Liz Ames hears from her sister Rachel, pastor of Paradise Christian Church in Key West, Florida.
Compelled to uncover the truth about her sister's disappearance, she heads to Key West. Within hours of her arrival a successful banker jumps to his death. Then a teenage girl whom Rachel was counseling is found brutally murdered. The ritualistic style of the killing is hauntingly similar to that used by the notorious "New Testament" serial killer—now on death row.
Could the teen's murder be related to Rachel's disappearance? Is a copycat killer at work? And why do the police refuse to help?
For answers, Liz turns to Rick Wells, a former Miami cop who worked the fringes of the "New Testament" investigation. Together they peel away layers of deception to reveal a terrifying adversary—and the unspeakable evil at the heart of this island paradise.

“Liz's sister, a pastor in Key West, has disappeared and the police are doing nothing so she goes out there to do what she can. She cannot believe the police's story of her sister having a mental breakdown and wandering off, even if her behavior was reported as odd. Along the way she meets former cop, Rick, who helps her as she uncovers strange details.
This was a fun, fast-paced thriller with a cult theme and satanic panic vibes. Liz is mostly a strong, likable character except she always seems to be screaming and running into Rick's arms when he's around. There are lots of suspects so it takes a lot of guessing who the bad guy really is which I always find fun. I love the setting. I knew nothing about Key West and it felt like a foreign country to me plus the story is set with the coming of a hurricane that gets downgraded to a storm at the end. My favorite by the author so far.”
