The Bone Stalker - (Vegas Shadows) by Victor Methos

Book Synopsis

When a terrifying new killer targets Detective Lazarus Holloway's inner circle, he ventures into the darkest corners of the city to unmask the murderer--and the one who's really pulling the strings.

Lazarus Holloway is no stranger to violent crime. The seasoned detective has built a career on weeding out the worst of the worst from the glittering streets of Las Vegas.

But he never knew the worst could get this bad.

The Bone Stalker is a new kind of murderous. His MO is brutal, calculated, and ritualistic, removing only specific bones from his victims' bodies. Each bone taken has a symbolic meaning...and they all tie back to Lazarus himself.

As Lazarus digs deeper with the help of investigative partner and guardian ad litem Piper Danes, they discover the detective isn't the only connection. But before they can unravel the web of lies that's been spun through the city for years, the killer ensnares another innocent in his trap.

Someone close to Lazarus becomes the bait. And he'll stop at nothing to get her back--even if it means embracing the darkness he's spent his life fighting against.
