The Toe Tag Killer
By M. Bauwens
Genre: Psychological Suspense • Crime Thriller
On the morning Raelyn Brenner graduates college and prepares to return home to work beside her private-investigator father, Thomas Brenner vanishes.
His truck is found abandoned at the old Wilson place. His office is in disarray. His computer passwords have been changed. His desk drawers are locked. And the conversation he insisted they needed to have is now impossible.
Then a woman's body is discovered on a desolate stretch of road, posed beneath an orange tarp with a toe tag tied to her foot.
Olivia Johnson's murder isn't the first time this small Maine town has lost a girl to violence — but it's the first time the killer wanted credit. Ritualistic. Deliberate. Personal. As Raelyn digs into the case her father may have been working before he vanished, she uncovers a disturbing connection to a missing teenager, a trail of hidden evidence, and a killer who believes every detail matters.
The police want Raelyn to stay out of it.
But Raelyn has spent her life learning from her father.
And if Thomas Brenner found something dangerous enough to make him disappear, then the killer may already know she is looking.
Before Raelyn can find her father, she must answer one terrifying question:
Who will get the next toe tag?
