Fourth Victim

USA Today Bestselling Author May McGoldrick writing as Jan Coffey
   
Two decades after escaping a deadly New Mexico cult, one survivor remains—
and time is running out.
 Kelly Stone, now a single mother and innkeeper in New Hampshire, has kept her dark past hidden, but the truth is closing in. Someone is hunting down the cult's last "chosen" disciples, and Kelly is next on the killer's list.
Determined to protect her, Ian Campbell—a cop with personal ties to the cult's horrific past—will risk everything to keep her alive. Together, they must confront old horrors, uncover chilling secrets, and stop the killers before it's too late.
As the walls close in and danger lurks at every turn, will they uncover the truth in time, or will Kelly become the final victim? The clock is ticking, and the hunters are closing in.
