About the book
Grace needs quiet. After her mother’s death, she flees to her mom’s hometown in Florida, planning to spend the summer transcribing tapes for the local historical society. The work is dull, the town stifling, but at least grief can be contained.
Then she hears Jake Underwood’s voice on a cassette from 1992. When he answers back, Grace realizes they can talk across time through the tapes.
What begins as connection soon deepens into something stranger. Hermitage is full of silences, tragedies no one mentions, and names no one says aloud. A hurricane decades ago claimed Jake’s uncle, yet the town insists on forgetting.
As Grace unravels the mystery, she learns some wounds are buried, not healed. And Jake’s silence hides the darkest secret of all.

About the book
Christmas morning should bring peace. Instead, Dr. Kay Scarpetta, Virginia’s chief medical examiner, is called to a fresh horror. The Phantom Slasher has struck again.
For months, the killer has stalked the region, armed with technology that lets him invade homes and watch his victims before attacking. Survivors see only a ghostly hologram before the knife falls. No one has been able to stop him. No one has even come close.
Now, two brutalized bodies on Mercy Island point to connections Scarpetta cannot ignore, one victim tied to her own past, the other to a case already fraying at the edges.
Scarpetta knows she is running out of time. And if she cannot outwit the Phantom Slasher, she may soon become his final masterpiece.
