When a former colleague arrives to investigate, she reluctantly teams up with him to find answers for herself and keep her own dark secrets buried.
But with danger closing in, Minnow must unearth her town's deadly past-and face the darkness festering inside her-before she's the next to disappear . . ."

"Throw out everything you think you know about twists, turns, and surprises.
Get ready for the next big thing.
Get ready to meet the Death Angels.
We've all been there. A loved one or a dear friend becomes desperately ill or is tragically injured. Someone -
maybe even you - says, 'If that ever happens to me, I wish someone would just . . . kill me.'
What if you could choose when to die? But once you decide, you can't change your mind - ever.
Welcome to the next step in the evolution of suspense fiction, an in-your-face/what-would-you-do topical thriller.
Kill Me is a brilliantly conceived roller-coaster ride that zeros in on some of the most contentious issues of our
time.
Kill Me brings Alan Gregory face-to-face with the most challenging case of his career. As always, White's
characters are indelible and the dialogue is dead-on, but Kill Me is fresh and thought-provoking in a way that's
so uncommon in crime fiction. Kill Me delivers on all the promise of White's earlier work and then raises the
bar in an unforgettably inventive tale of life and death. This is the book that you won't be able to stop listening
to, but more to the point, this is the book that won't go away. Listeners will be asking each other: 'What would
you do? If you could sign up - really - would you?'"

With no obvious connection between the two victims, Phillips turns to profiler Dr. Siobhan Harris. Can she help to identify the perpetrator or discover the motive behind these brutal murders?
But no one could have prepared Phillips for what the doctor is about to reveal.
Everything points to a killer on a mission, and a body count that's likely to double within days—unless Phillips can stop the murderous psychopath, hell bent on satisfying his own Deadly Craving."
