Fatal Silence (Rachel Ryder Series)

“One, two, three, you can’t pin on me.
Seven, eight, nine, I’ll add to my crimes.
Four, five, six, add to the mix.”

The riddle still haunts her.

Months after Detective Rachel Ryder exposed the madman who killed six people, she can’t forget his sinister puzzle…and when the body of a young woman is found on an elite golf course with a familiar set of clues, Rachel can’t escape the impossible feeling that an old enemy has risen from the grave.

Thrown headlong into an investigation that feels eerily similar yet strangely different, Rachel and her partner Rob Bishop fight to stop the past from repeating itself. But they’re walking straight into a dangerous game of cat and mouse—and when someone from her team goes missing, Rachel begins to realize that she’s playing right into the murderer’s plan.

More innocent lives are on the line. If Rachel fails, their blood will be on her hands. Can she unearth the truth behind these seemingly copycat murders? Or is history doomed to repeat itself with devastating consequences?

As the riveting sixth book in the Rachel Ryder series, Fatal Silence is an adrenaline-fueled adventure by USA Today bestselling author Carolyn Ridder Aspenson. This page-turning mystery is perfect for readers who love their mysteries packed with plenty of twists and turns.
