Books like Last Words by Mariah Stewart
FBI veteran Agent Mia Shields is drawn into a nightmare on Maryland’s Eastern Shore when a brutal killer begins murdering residents of the seaside town of St. Dennis. The killer’s signature is a gruesome display: the bodies of victims, naked and wrapped in plastic, are placed in police vehicles, each accompanied by a tape recording of that victim’s last gasping words. As the body count rises, an increasingly desperate partnership forms between Mia and Chief Gabriel Beck, with plans to trap the sadistic killer—only to discover that the monster’s next target may be one of them. A tense race against time ensues as Beck fights to protect Mia and solve the puzzle of the serial murders.
