August 2010 Debut of the Month.
A complex tale of two plots, the main one of the serial killer the Strangler, and then one of the serial rapist the Rainman, with lots of incidental sub-plots to titillate. It slows up a bit in the middle, often a fault of first novels, but there is real potential here with the first three in the series coming very close together.
Comparison: Ingrid Black, Beverly Barton, John Verdon.

In a thrilling series from New York Times bestselling author J.T. Ellison, a serial killer is targeting young women across the South, and each new kill comes with a grisly clue pointing to the next victim.
When a young woman is found dead just outside of Nashville, strangled and handless, homicide lieutenant Taylor Jackson is quick to the scene. So is FBI Special Agent John Baldwin, whose presence suggests that the murder is not the work of a random opportunist. A love poem left nearby alludes to something more sinister: This is the work of the "Southern Strangler," a serial killer terrorizing women from Louisiana to Virginia.
It's the kind of case Jackson thrives on. At thirty-five, Metro Nashville's youngest lieutenant is still an idealist, hell-bent on protecting the city she calls home. And she's determined to avoid the broken, lonely path she's seen other cops take. But while she and Baldwin share more than a working relationship, she's not ready to go public.
With victims across multiple states, Jackson and Baldwin race to find a pattern before the killer strikes again. But then a shocking connection between the Strangler and a local reporter brings them closer to the truth behind the killer's identity-one that could unveil a family's darkest secrets.
