9780312622800. Pre-owned: Good condition. Hard cover. Language: English. Pages: 326. Glued binding. Paper over boards. With dust jacket. 326 p. Perry Hollow, Pennsylvania, has never had a murder. At least not as long as Kat Campbell has been sheriff. And the first one is a doozy: George Winnick, a farmer in his sixties, is found in a homemade coffin by the side of the highway with his lips sewn shut and his veins and arteries drained of blood and filled with embalming fluid. Not only that, but the Perry Hollow Gazette obituary writer, Henry Goll, got advance notice of his death. But it's when the Pennsylvania Bureau of Investigation task force shows up that the news really turns bad. Nick Donnelly, head of the task force, has been chasing this killer - the 'Betsy Ross Killer', because he's handy with a needle and thread - for more than a year. George Winnick seems to be his fourth victim. Or is he? Though Kat has never handled a murder case before, she's not going to sit by while someone terrorizes her town, and threats against her only son are the very last straw. Todd Ritter is an exciting and talented new voice in mystery fiction.
