Dead Pretty
Robyn Nyx
Dak Farrell #1
A nomadic FBI agent and a displaced TV star become neighbours — and the serial killer's next target.
Description
An FBI agent, a TV star, and a serial killer. Love hurts. Special Agent Dak Farrell works cold cases, and she's damn good at it. She's always on the move and doesn't care where the next case takes her. But when the Salt Lake City police department need her help with a new serial killer, she'll be around a little longer than usual. Long enough to get attached to the beautiful woman next door... Mortician Callie "CJ" Johnson is on top of the world until her show, Dead Pretty, is canceled. Thanks to a frivolous lifestyle, she's got nothing to show for it. With no other alternative, she heads home to lick her wounds and wait for a new opportunity. When she sees the hot FBI agent living next door, that opportunity isn't what she expected. When CJ fixes the serial killer's "artistic" work, she becomes his next target. Will Dak be able to save her? Or will The Artist claim CJ as his next victim?
