Summary

USA Today Bestselling Author May McGoldrick writing as Jan Coffey
 
The Fourth Victim is a masterful blend of psychological horror and suspense, a tale that grips readers with its unsettling premise and refuses to let go. Set against the haunting legacy of a New Mexico cult, this story explores the inescapable ties of the past and the chilling cost of survival.
Three survivors of a harrowing cult have already fallen victim to a relentless killer. Now, only one remains. Kelly Stone, the final survivor, has built a quiet life far from her traumatic beginnings. But as the ghosts of her past resurface, so does the danger, drawing her into a terrifying confrontation with a predator determined to finish what was started decades ago.
With its atmospheric tension and relentless pacing, The Fourth Victim plunges readers into a world where fear is palpable and safety is an illusion. The claustrophobic dread of being hunted permeates every page, pulling readers into Kelly's desperate struggle to protect her daughter and herself.
What sets this novel apart is its deep emotional core. Kelly's journey is not just one of survival but also of reckoning—with her past, her identity, and her determination to fight back against a fate that seems inevitable. Her character is richly drawn, her vulnerability making her triumphs all the more powerful, while the antagonist is a chilling embodiment of unrelenting evil.
Perfect for fans of dark psychological horror with a human edge, The Fourth Victim delivers heart-pounding terror and poignant storytelling. It's not just a book—it's an unshakable experience, one that lingers long after the last page. This is a tale that will chill readers to their core and leave them hungry for more.

    There is something about the number 3.  
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. 
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes. 
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    It’s Spring Break and a trio of California college kids head out, not to the beach but to the mountains of New Mexico, where they plan on a week of snowboarding, beer, and fun. But the instructions to reach their vacation rental are less than precise and it’s late and snowy when they arrive at Taos Ski Valley. They’re surprised to find an older couple in the cabin they believed to be theirs but hey, Casey Hardwick, the ringleader of the group, is not known for reading directions or getting all the facts. Maybe the place is actually a B&B. They troop inside and are shown to a bedroom. 
    Days later, Casey’s sister is calling the only friend she knows in Taos—Kelly Sweet—hoping to get word to her brother that their mother’s condition has worsened and she doesn’t have long to live. No one has heard from Casey, and she urgently needs to reach him. Samantha and Kelly are together when the call comes, and the mystery only deepens once they talk to Sheriff Evan Richards. Yes, the family reported the missing boys and he investigated. He found no evidence that they’d ever arrived. His theory is that the boys changed their plans at the last minute and are living it up somewhere else. 
    But Sam has a bad feeling about it. Without the help of law enforcement, will she and Kelly figure out how the boys disappeared? And can they find the boys and get Casey home before it’s too late to see his mother again? Their only clues seem to come from the mysterious book of runes.

    Dan Reno claimed self-defense, but the prosecuting attorney had other ideas. 
    The missing person case seemed wrong from the start. The client paid in cash, used a phony name, and his claim to be searching for his missing nephew didn't add up. It doesn't take Reno long to do the math, and he decides to return the money to the client. That's when things go awry. 
    The new D.A. in South Lake Tahoe has already drawn conclusions and wants Reno imprisoned. Out on bail, Reno has two weeks to uncover the client's true identity and motivations, or else. With his fiancée Candi at home, pregnant, the stakes are higher than ever. 
    When Reno's partner Cody Gibbons hears what's going on, he suspects his and Reno's history in San Jose is at play. But the clues lead in the opposite direction, to Miami, and then to the Caribbean. Reno's in uncharted territory, and now he'll learn just how far he's willing to go to save himself. But Gibbons only knows one way to play it. And that doesn't bode well for their enemies.

    Family is forever. So are bad decisions. 
     
    All Iris Gardner wanted was a quiet night shift, enough caffeine to survive her 
    family’s next mandatory Sunday dinner, and to ignore her pesky visions.  
     
    Instead, a stranger walks into the Stop-n-Go and 
    triggers the worst vision Iris has ever had: her own murder.  
     
    Her visions have always been annoying—especially when 
    her cousin Billy treats her like a human scratch-off ticket. But this vision is 
    different. Iris is tied up. Her cousin Selena is screaming. And the stranger 
    pulls the trigger.  
     
    Now Iris has problems.  
     
    Selena is missing. Iris’s deputy cousin Garrett wants Iris 
    to stop looking for her before she gets herself killed. A mysterious man named Boone is charming, suspiciously helpful, and too good-looking. And her chaotic cousins, Mary Ellen and Ava, are ready to help—as long as helping includes tequila, bad decisions, and running over a curb or two.  
     
    But Iris knows one thing for sure: the future isn’t set 
    in stone.  
     
    Unfortunately, neither are good choices.  
     
    To save Selena—and herself—Iris will have to untangle family secrets, 
    small-town lies, and a real murderer before the vision that started it all 
    comes true.  
     
    Perfect for fans of the Rose Gardner series and readers who love Finlay Donovan, Riley Thorn, and Stephanie Plum-style mysteries.
