    A sleepy town with a disturbing secret. An unstable man seduced by evil whisperings. And a stubborn detective whose life is more intertwined with the killer she hunts than she could ever imagine. 
      
    Just when the residents of Crest Hill are getting past a shocking unsolved murder in the nearby groves, their greatest unspoken fear materializes: a string of serial killings amongst their own citizens. There is now no mistaking the fact that one member of their small population is not what they seem to be. 
      
    Earl Hughes is a regular guy outwardly. What lurks beneath, however, is a mind warped by a marred childhood which seeks to purge his world of a perceived evil. His deep recesses of obsession, as deranged as they may be, only act to further his cunning. 
      
    Detective Anita Heath finds herself perplexed at the crime scenes when the bodies begin turning up. Something about these murders just doesn’t profile right. As her suspicions are soon bent in unusual directions, she discovers she has attracted the attention of the culprit—and inadvertently enters into a sinister game of cat and mouse. 
      
    The Crest Hill Mu7ders is a suspenseful new page-turner with haunting twists that may forever alter the way you view your fellow citizens’ pasts—and possibly even your own.

    For twenty-four-year-old Oliver Popp, autism is just another fact of life. As long as Oliver sticks to a comfortable itinerary planned in advance, he gets by just fine as a staff writer for Offbeat Traveler magazine. But a curveball drops into Oliver's budding career when his first feature assignment takes him to Washington, DC, to chronicle the latest tourism trends. 
     
     
      
    His freelance project photographer is Ricky Warner, a gregarious and impulsively adorable shot of adrenaline. If the flirty gay photographer isn't enough to unbalance shy Oliver at the get-go, there's also an unsettling chance encounter with old acquaintance, Elise Perkins, and a congressional hearing that's shaking up both the capitol and an entrepreneurial billionaire. The unexpected distractions soon collide—quite literally—when Elise is struck dead by a speeding car. Forget the National Mall and Mt. Vernon Square. Oliver and Ricky are game for something much more interesting: solving a mystery and a murder. 
     
     
      
    With their focus shifted and a deadline coming, they only have a few days to solve the crime. For Oliver, it's a weeks of firsts: first crush, first time without a schedule, first time playing amateur sleuth, and first time getting wrestled out of his comfort zone. But with a loosey-goosey new partner like Ricky, that might not be such a bad thing at all.
