Books like Dead by dusk by Heather Graham
Bella Vista, a sleepy seaside town that looks like an Italian postcard, erupts into dread when young women start disappearing and are later found horribly mutilated. The local police suspect a sexual serial killer, and the town’s leaders fear the truth could scare away tourists.
American Stephanie Cahill arrives in Bella Vista, hoping to escape her painful past, but the discovery of a body at an archaeological dig unsettles her. She feels she is being watched—always watched—by something unseen.
Archaeologist Grant Peterson senses danger at the dig, locking his door at night. The ancient legend tied to the burial site may explain the killer’s chilling signature. As Stephanie and Grant grow close, their attraction becomes a liability, and the couple must race against time to protect Stephanie and uncover who—and what—stands behind the murders.
