Open Road Media Mystery & Thriller

The time has come for a serial killer to strike-and they're aiming for the Black Horse Campground-in the series from the author of At the Crossroad.

With the campground already a crime-scene curiosity, Corrie takes a weekend break from the business just as J. D. Wilder makes his return to the village of Bonney from his home turf of Houston. With Corrie on vacation, he turns his attention to the cold cases they thought were long-solved. Something isn't adding up.

Even though his corrupt former partner is suspected to have killed three local women over the past fifteen years, J. D. can account for the man's whereabouts during the third murder. And with a fourth grave already dug, he's convinced that the real serial killer is still at large. A deep dive into Corrie's and her friends pasts uncovers clues that point to a horrifying possibility: the danger isn't coming from outside of Bonney, but straight from inside its dark and twisted heart . . .

You can take the cop out of the big city, but you can't take the big city out of the cop, in this fourth Black Horse Campground mystery.

Just as Corrie is getting used to having former Houston, Texas, narcotics detective J. D. Wilder as a campground employee, he officially becomes a member of the Village of Bonney Police Department. Aside from a recent crime spree at the Black Horse, not much is going on in town, giving Wilder a chance to go over some cold cases.

In the past fifteen years, three women have gone missing, exactly five years apart. What has amounted to nothing more than a local urban legend becomes Wilder's new obsession-with Corrie offering some much-needed background information. As he's digging into the neighborhood's recent history, trouble from his own shows up, forcing the shadowy past into a deadly confrontation with a clear and present danger . . .
