When Darkness Falls

The most recent body was discovered in the woods just beyond a logging cabin. Dismembered. Put on display. Ghostly pale skin stark against the forest's green. Before that, two campers were found a few miles off. Cut apart. Impaled. Left in public places where they'd surely be found. The grisly crimes summon to a tiny island off the Alaskan coast -- 2,500 square miles of forested land populated by just 6,000 souls. Here, in the primordial wilderness, she'll face off with a shadowy killer unlike anything she's seen. Raging. Brutal. Elusive. Darger digs into the history of torso killers to try to understand the psychology behind the crimes. Finds a legacy of savagery dating back over a hundred years. Aggression beyond comprehension. A recurring phenomenon of human behavior that chills her. Who could carry out such brutality? And why? Understanding the interior world, the motivations, of this type of killer will be the key to solving the case. When a storm moves in, Darger finds herself in peril deep in his territory. Vulnerable. Exposed. Walking right into his trap.
