New York Times bestselling author Liliana Hart delivers a heart-stopping mystery where Southern Gothic charm meets bone-chilling terror. Some nightmares don't end when you wake up. Twenty years ago, a killer stalked the South Carolina coast, slipping through bedroom windows to claim his victims. Young women found dead in their own beds, positioned like sleeping angels—beautiful, peaceful, and forever silent. When the Silver Sleuths take on the cold case that terrorized Grimm Island, tea shop owner Mabel McCoy expects to find answers buried in the past. Instead, she uncovers a survivor who's been hiding on the island for two decades, living under a different name, watching every shadow. But this case strikes Sheriff Dash Beckett like a physical blow, awakening ghosts from his own dark past that he's spent years trying to forget. And when someone begins testing Mabel's windows at night, learning her routines, she realizes some predators never die—they just grow hungrier. Now Mabel must solve a twenty-year-old mystery before she becomes its newest victim. Because on Grimm Island, the most dangerous secrets are the ones that refuse to stay buried. And some killers view patience as just another weapon.

Liliana Hart spent five years teaching music in the public education system. She molded America’s youth, busted kids for smoking pot in the restrooms, and broke up illicit affairs behind the stage on a regular basis. (Liliana’s Addison Holmes Mystery Series, about a small town teacher who gets into a whole lot of trouble, is somewhat autobiographical, but she won’t confess to which parts). Liliana began reading romance novels with all her new found free time, and when she ran out of things to read, she decided to write her own novels. The result was a 150,000 word thriller—a dazzling adventure—where the heroine was a thirty-year-old virgin assassin (Yes, you read that right). She couldn’t imagine why people weren’t knocking down her door to read it, but she persevered and began writing a second book. She finally got the hang of things, and eventually learned that losing one’s virginity wasn’t all that romantic after all. All of her books involve some kind of suspense (she just can't help herself), laughter, and a lot of steamy sex. Since the failure of her first attempt, Liliana’s books have won awards such as: The Daphne Du Maurier, The Suzannah, The Linda Howard Award of Excellence, The Maggie, and many others. Her affiliations include Romance Writers of America and Mystery Writers of America. Liliana loves to cook, and is addicted to reading, Internet Boggle, kickboxing, and Bones. She lives in a big, rambling house in Texas with a couple of cats to keep her company. She loves to get emails from readers. Enjoy the Adventures!
