DEAVER. DANGEROUSLY GOOD.

When Detective Bill Corde looks at the beautiful face of the murdered girl in the mud, he does not know his own life is about to turn into a terrifyingly real nightmare.

For the girl's killer is now on the trail of Corde and his unsuspecting family: his wife, teenage son, and imaginative but vulnerable daughter, Sarah. Sarah, who alone knows the identity of the killer...

The lesson Bill Corde is about to learn - the lesson of her death - is an education that no one will ever forget.
