Be Very Afraid (Hudson Valley Suspense Series, #2) / Hudson Valley Suspense Series (ePub)

NOWHERE TO RUN.
Liz Moncrief still blames herself for putting her career at the FBI ahead of everything else, and for being obsessed with catching the serial killer who buried his victims alive. But the Cemetery Man didn't just elude capture… he kidnapped and murdered Liz's eight-year-old daughter. It ended liz's involvement in the case, and her career. She didn't just walk away from everything… she ran. Something inside of Liz died the day her daughter was taken, and two years later, the pain is just as raw…

NOWHERE TO HIDE.
Jake English is a legend at Quantico's Behavioral Science Unit; he is also falling apart. His inability to let go of a string of vicious killings in his native Virginia has called his competency-and his sanity-into question. Forced to take a leave of absence, he undertakes an impossible task: working beneath he radar to protect an ex-wife from a threat she refuses to face… an ex-wife who loathes the sight of him, who won't listen to a word he has to say. But Jake knows the darkness is coming.

After a two-year hiatus, The Cemetery Man is active again, this time in Upstate New York instead of Virginia. Jake's instincts have been screaming that the serial killer has honed in on his favorite obsession: Liz, and it is just a matter of time till he makes his move. Yet, convincing Liz to work with him will be anything but easy. She still hasn't forgiven him for being unfaithful three weeks into their marriage... a marriage that ended a decade ago. Jake has to do something. He still loves her, and he can't just let her fall victim to this homicidal maniac a second time.

SECRETS AND LIES....
When Fate intervenes, Liz has to stop running, and she reluctantly agrees to help Jake. But the closer they become, the greater the danger he will uncover a dark secret she's kept for a decade-a secret so painful it will push Jake to the brink of self-destruction, and threaten to destroy the fragile bond they've started to rebuild.
