J.T. Ellison’s All the Pretty Girls: A 2011 Crime Fiction Paperback

Description

No, please don’t.

Three little words, innocuous in their definitions. No great allegories, no ethical dilemmas. No, please don’t.

The words echoed through his brain as he sawed, their rhythm spurring his own. When a local girl falls prey to a sadistic serial killer, Nashville homicide lieutenant Taylor Jackson finds herself pursuing the vicious murderer. The Southern Strangler is slaughtering his way through the Southeast, leaving a gruesome memento at each crime scene – the prior victim’s severed hand.

Ambitious TV reporter Whitney Connolly is certain the Southern Strangler is her ticket out of Nashville; she’s got a scoop that could break the case, but has no idea how close to this story she really is. As the killer spirals out of control, everyone involved must face a horrible truth: that the purest evil is born of secrets and lies.

“A taut, striking debut. Mystery fiction has a new name to watch. ” John Connolly
