“Evokes the gritty classics of Cornell Woolrich and Jim Thompson while spinning its own brand of hard-boiled psychological suspense.” —Kirkus Reviews Three years ago, working vice for the NYPD, Dan Champion infiltrated a world of sexual obsession and perversity. He broke the case, but the case also broke him. He started taking drugs and soon began to form hallucinations . . . a dead child prowling the streets of New York . . . a beautiful woman named Samantha who would have given him the love he always wanted—if she’d only been real. Now the ghosts and hallucinations are finally behind Champion, as he begins to rebuild his life as a small town detective. Then one night he is called to examine the body of a woman who has washed ashore. Yet when he looks at her face, he sees that it’s Samantha, the woman he dreamed about long ago . . . a woman who doesn’t exist. Suddenly, Champion must figure out the truth about his past and about a killer who has been on the run—in the wind—for a lifetime. The ghosts of the dead are all around him, and Champion has to find out who murdered them, fast, or he could become one of them himself. “After reading his latest, A Killer in the Wind, I came away convinced that Klavan is worthy to be mentioned with Keith Ablow, Jonathan Kellerman, Andrew Vachss, James Patterson, and even Stephen King.” —The Huntington News

A retired detective is on the trail of a vicious serial killer in this “terrific debut [by] a skilled writer who ratchets up the suspense” (New York Times bestselling author Margaret Coel). Retired Denver homicide detective Arn Anderson is back in Cheyenne, Wyoming, a place he’d sworn off years ago. And while he fixes up his rundown childhood home, he finds himself doing something else he never thought he’d do: teaming up with a TV reporter on a cold murder case. But Arn isn’t the only one coming out of retirement. Ten years ago, the Five Point Killer terrorized the American Northwest with a series of brutal murders—including three police detectives among his victims. Then he disappeared without a trace. But now, on the anniversary of his crimes, he’s back to his old sadistic tricks. And Arn might be the next investigator who gets too close to the truth. "A slow-burning cold case with copious clues, conscientious detection, a high body count, periodic interruptions from the killer's viewpoint, and all the pages and pages of unraveling you'd expect from such a generously plotted mystery."―Kirkus Reviews
