Books like A perfect evil by Alex Kava
Sheriff Nick Morrelli—whose wall bears a framed Harvard law degree—faces a fresh wave of kidnapping-murders of two local boys. When FBI profiler Maggie O’Dell arrives, she takes over the case.
The investigation echoes Nick’s father’s former career, who ended a violent serial‑killer reign that once abducted and tortured three boys. The return of retired Sheriff Antonio Morrelli and a sister who leverages her contacts add layers of personal intrigue.
Nick must navigate family loyalty, federal scrutiny, and the pressure of keeping his reputation intact while the hunt for a killer who mirrors past atrocities continues.
