Summer of Despair S F Murray

A day in the country is a relaxing and soothing way to spend your time-unless you're being stalked by a serial killer whose ultimate goal is to add you to his collection of human trophies.



Samantha Masters is an environmental scientist who has inherited one of the largest textile firms in the region, a business built by her father. She is also the target of an obsessed lunatic who murders and mutilates his victims. The killer then leaves a mannequin in the wilderness dressed as himself, playing an infuriating game of cat and mouse with law enforcement.



Unfortunately, all the sleuthing in the world doesn't prevent Samantha from being abducted. She manages to escape after being drugged, raped, and tortured-but not before suffering two gunshot wounds. Placed in a medically induced coma, she fights for her life. When she successfully recovers, however, she makes a series of chilling discoveries that force her to reexamine who she can trust. These tightly packed plot twists make Summer of Despair an unforgettable thriller, one that causes the reader to get up and make sure the front door is securely locked.
