THE HUNTER DAUGHTER
A mesmerizing debut thriller about a seemingly good cop who is secretly the daughter of the notorious Forest Strangler. When ritually killed bodies start to appear in the Strangler's old territory, she must hunt down the copycat killer or risk losing everything.
Anna Koray has shut the door on her past. The records of her childhood - and the troubling memories - are sealed away thanks to a controversial hypnosis treatment. She's a police lieutenant in a rural town, raising money for good causes, coaching girls soccer, and even on-and-off dating Nick, a local ER doctor.
Then she shoots a man in the line of duty and finds herself terribly drawn to him in the moment of his death. Her childhood memories return, igniting terrible dreams of her beloved father, his hands red with blood, surrounded by flower-decked corpses he had sacrificed to the god of the forest.
Simultaneously, to Anna's horror and fascination, a serial killer has emerged who is copying her father. Can it be a coincidence?Is her father alive after all? Will the killer expose her, destroying everything she has built for herself, including her rekindled relationship with Nick? Does she want him to?
Against all the rules Anna inserts herself into the investigation, walking a thin line between justice and protecting her secrets. But as she haunts the forest, using her father's tricks to the hunt the killer, will she find what she needs most... or lose herself in the gathering darkness?
Nicola Solvinic has a master's degree in criminology and has worked in and around criminal justice for more than a decade at local, state, and federal levels. Much of that time was spent in law enforcement policy and corrections in the Midwest. Nicola lives in the Midwest with her husband and cats, where she is surrounded by a secret garden full of beehives.
