The Button Collector

When Chicago journalist Jessica Knight is linked to a string of odd murders happening across the country, her life takes a turn for the worse.

She is left wondering why her relatives are the ones dropping like flies under the signature mark of a serial killer . . . why she can't stop thinking about Michael Bradley, the appealing detective assigned to protect her . . . and most of all, why, despite being the Button Collector's prime target, she's still alive at all. One thing she knows for certain: the killer is always watching. As the line between truth and deception begins to blur, Jessica crumbles under the dense web of lies she's trying to keep straight--especially once the police start questioning more than just her sanity. With pressure mounting, Jessica must navigate being under the watchful eye of the police--and the killer--while risking it all in a dangerous game to make up for the mistakes of her past.

Her days are numbered...one way or the other.
