Stalking couples in their cars. Flashlight in one hand. Gun in the other. Killing people is so much fun.\n\nWhen multiple murders terrorize a small town college campus, FBI profiler Violet Darger heads to rural Michigan to investigate. As soon as she arrives, a grim history begins to emerge.\n\nThe crimes have progressed steadily over a period of 18 months.\n\nIndecent exposure to stalking.\n\nStalking to rape.\n\nRape to murder.\n\nThe UNSUB's emphasis on power and control rapidly verges toward full blown sadism. He grows ever bolder, ever more vicious.\n\nWhat could be more dangerous than a killer aroused by expressions of rage? Increasing brutality. Overkill.\n\nUnderstanding his psychological motivations will guide the efforts to stop him.\n\nDarger digs into the history. Tries to figure out how the perpetrator advanced unchecked to graver and graver trangressions.\n\nWhat she finds buried in the police records unsettles her as much as the murders themselves.\n\nWhile a faceless killer terrorizes the campus, the school administrators remain focused on burying the story.\n\nThe revelation creates another complication: The students feel disenfranchised. Angry.\n\nProstesters gather on lawns. Ignore the citywide curfew. An uprising brewing all over campus.\n\nDarger must navigate an uncooperative administration, a powder keg of a campus, and a killer as savage and dangerous as any she's ever faced.\n\nWhen it all boils over, chaos descends on the townspeople. And the killer walks among them.\n\nThe novels in the Violet Darger series can be read as stand-alones.

If you like scare-you-half-to-death mystery books this is the one for you. It starts with a bang and just doesn't stop.\" -- Ada Lavin\n\n\"Un-put-downable! I cannot wait for this series to grow. If you love Sandford, Slaughter, Kava, Stelljes and Deaver, you’ll LOVE Vargus \u0026amp; McBain!\" -- Melody M\n\n\"Vargus and McBain have, in Violet Darger, created a character that absolutely stands up with some of the greats -- Phillip Marlowe, Dave Robicheaux, Elvis Cole, Charlie Parker, August Dupin, Jack Reacher, Harry Bosch, etc.\" -- Lucinda E. Snyder\n\n\"If you liked Silence of the Lambs, you'll love Dead End Girl... At the same time, there's so much attention to detail and organic storytelling that this could easily compete with any of Stephen King's longer works. I found myself completely invested in every character, from the authorities to the killer to the victims themselves.\" -- eden Hudson\n\n\"This book reminds me of some of my favorite books in the crime thriller genre - Dark Places by Gillian Flynn, The Collector by John Fowles, the Mr. Mercedes trilogy by Stephen King, and of course Silence of the Lambs. It's not a glimpse...it's a good long look inside the mind of a killer. It's fast paced, it's scary, and it's satisfying.\" -- Rain\n\n\"I devour each installment in this series the instant it is available.\" -- Shelley R.
