While investigating the chilling deaths of three teenage girls in the remote town of Briarwood, Detective Evan O'Riley is drawn into the unsolved mysteries of a notorious 1960s serial killer.

Three sixteen-year-old girls have plunged from the roof of their school. The question lingers: did they jump, or were they pushed? Tasked with uncovering the truth, Evan O'Riley-seasoned by years of crime-solving in Riverton-arrives in Briarwood, determined to discover whether he's facing triple homicide or a heartbreaking suicide.

As he delves into the case, Evan uncovers unsettling whispers about the town's infamous SAD Killer, whose string of brutal murders left Briarwood haunted-and whose identity was never discovered. Fifty years later, the ghosts of the past resurface as Evan combs through long-buried evidence, tracks down survivors, and seeks out old investigators tied to the original crimes.

Driven to find answers for both the present and the past, Evan is relentless in his pursuit of justice. But as old secrets come to light and the investigation intensifies, Evan realizes the SAD Killer's legacy isn't as distant as he believed-the danger may be closer than anyone imagines.All Rights Reserved

RoseBlood by meeshapatricia

Roses have many representations. For Holly Cassia, it's one of pure dread. Dread knowing that the RoseBlood Killer has murdered both of her parents in a poetically twisted way, and now they're after her, leaving only threatening love notes and blood-red roses to remind her that they're closer than she thinks... and they aren't going anywhere. Before they can strike, though, the equally unusual Tyrel Trust, a group of three detective siblings involved in helping solve the case, takes Holly away from her home and to a place where she can work with them to expose the obsessive killer safely. However, time is ticking, and Holly is the last victim in the murderer's sights. If she dies, she's sure that they'll disappear for good, and the case will go cold. But can she learn to trust the Tyrels, especially Emerson, who seems more alike to her than anyone she's met before? Could the strange murder that happened in their own family three years ago be connected to the one that took away the Cassias' lives? And will the Tyrels manage to reopen the cold case that left them fatherless, to solve The Case of the RoseBlood Killer once and for all, or will the truth remain buried? "Roses are red, "Blood is too, "You're better off dead, "I'm coming for you."
