Deceptive The houses in Willow Tree Court are sleek and modern—the kind designed to harbor happy families and laughing children. No one would guess the secrets that lurk beyond the neat lawns and beautiful facades.
Depraved Molly Dennehy is trying to fit in to her new surroundings, though her neighbors are clearly loyal to her husband’s ex-wife. But that’s the least of Molly’s worries. Her stepson’s school has been rocked by a brutal slaying, and a psychopath known as the Cul-de-Sac Killer is murdering families in Seattle homes. Homes just like Molly’s.
Disturbed With each passing day, Molly grows more convinced that someone is watching her family, someone consumed with rage and vengeance. On this quiet road, a nightmare has been unleashed, and the trail of terror will lead right to her door...
Before his thrillers landed him on the New York Times bestseller list, Kevin O’Brien was a railroad inspector who wrote novels at night. His first thriller, The Next to Die (2001) jumped up the USA Today bestseller charts. He’s been writing full-time ever since.
Four of his thrillers—the most recent is Vicious—have been New York Times bestsellers. Kevin O’Brien grew up in Chicago, and moved to Seattle in 1980. He loves Hitchcock movies, and is hard at work on his twelfth novel. Vicious is available in now.
