Irene Kelly fights for her life in this blood-chilling sequel to the Edgar Award-winning smash hit Bones from New York Times bestselling author Jan Burke. IRENE KELLY IS BACK . . . IN THIS HEARTPOUNDING SEQUEL TO JAN BURKE'S EDGAR(R) AWARD - WINNING NOVEL BONES Investigative reporter Irene Kelly risked everything in a near-fatal encounter with serial killer Nick Parrish--and broke a chain of deadly violence in Southern California when Parrish landed in maximum security. Now, life has almost returned to normal, both at the struggling Las Piernas News Express and, with the help of a good therapist, for Irene and her husband, Frank. But the terror is far from over. . . . Rumors among the Moths, Nick Parrish's online fan club, suggest the killer has recovered physically, escaped with someone's help, and he's targeting the person responsible for his imprisonment: Irene Kelly. It starts with an unnerving prank, a clear message that someone wants her to be afraid. And when a young woman's body turns up--naked, frozen, and decorated in elaborately painted moths--Irene must confront the twisted hunter whom she knows all too well . . . or does she?
