- Backlund’s
- gripping
- mystery
- debut
- Among
- the
- Dead
- is
- sure
- to
- be
- a
- knock-out.Ex-SBI
- agent
- Rachel
- Carver
- must
- hunt
- a
- group
- of
- killers
- on
- her
- own
- before
- time
- runs
- out
- in
- this
- gripping
- debut.**Former
- North
- Carolina
- State
- Bureau
- of
- Investigation
- agent
- Rachel
- Carver
- blames
- herself
- for
- the
- collateral
- death
- of
- an
- innocent
- woman
- in
- her
- last
- case.
- Unable
- to
- accept
- her
- superior’s
- attempts
- to
- cover
- up
- the
- incident,
- she
- turned
- in
- her
- badge.
- But
- when
- a
- former
- partner
- asks
- her
- to
- consult
- on
- a
- new
- murder
- case,
- she
- reluctantly
- agrees,
- traveling
- to
- a
- small,
- remote
- mountain
- community,
- where
- she’s
- tasked
- with
- leading
- a
- group
- of
- inexperienced
- detectives
- on
- a
- hunt
- for
- the
- killer.
- The
- trek
- has
- hardly
- begun
- when
- what
- seems
- to
- be
- the
- act
- of
- a
- loner
- proves
- to
- be
- much
- more
- as
- Rachel's
- team
- comes
- under
- attack—and
- a
- detective
- is
- killed
- in
- the
- fallout.Now
- that
- the
- stakes
- have
- risen,
- Rachel’s
- old
- employers
- at
- the
- SBI
- step
- in
- to
- take
- over
- the
- investigation.
- But
- Rachel,
- convinced
- they
- are
- on
- the
- wrong
- track,
- continues
- to
- work
- the
- case
- alone.
- And
- just
- as
- she
- delves
- into
- the
- town’s
- past,
- she
- discovers
- a
- secret
- history
- that
- connects
- the
- victims—one
- that
- makes
- her
- the
- target
- of
- a
- man
- who
- would
- kill
- to
- keep
- it
- a secret.
