Hunter In The Heat

Gleeson, Arizona - 1974. A small desert town scorched by relentless summer heat, where everyone knows each other... and secrets still find places to hide.

Detective Rebecca Jamerson and her lifelong best friend and partner, Christopher Sanchez, are junior detectives in a tight-knit community where serious crime is rare. But when a dismembered body is found deep in the desert, its limbs grotesquely arranged to spell a word, everything changes.

As the scorching summer days wear on, more bodies surface - each more brutal than the last, each taunting the detectives in disturbing, personal ways. The killer is sending a message. And Rebecca may be the one it's meant for.

With help from Dana Harper, the shy but sharp desk clerk who catches Christopher's eye, and pressure mounting from their hardened but fair Sheriff Jenkins, the team races to uncover the identity of a sadistic killer hiding in plain sight - a towering figure cloaked in darkness, with eyes like hollow graves.

As Rebecca's past resurfaces and the body count rises, the line between personal and professional begins to blur. In a town where the sun burns everything but the truth, some secrets are buried deeper than bones.
