Desolate Mantle

by L. K. Hill

Overview

What if you saw something? Something heinous. Something the police have no clue about, but should?

Kyra knows she's seen the killer. Actually seen him walking around the Slip Mire before and after his kills. She needs to get her information to the cops. She kissed Det. Gabe Nichols in an alley weeks before, believing they'd never cross paths again. The idea of seeing him again puts butterflies in her stomach. But not sharing her information means she'll have blood on her hands when the killer strikes again.

Gabe has his own problems. Dealing with the anniversary of his brother's disappearance is stressful enough. Now the brass is pressuring him to find the mysterious woman who gave him information that saved many lives. The woman who seems to be a walking chameleon. And kissed him in a dark alley weeks before.

Meanwhile, a clandestine gathering is happening at the dark heart of the city. When Kyra investigates, she finds a gyre of depravity and evil. Kyra and Gabe will face that depravity head on. If they don't learn to trust one another, it may just swallow them whole.

Fans of dark urban crime fiction, mysterious serial killers, and a splash of the horrific won't be able to put this one down.

About the Author

L.K. Hill is a novelist who writes across three genres. Her crime fiction is written under her initials, L.K. Hill. She writes scifi and fantasy, including dystopian, under her full name, Liesel K. Hill. Her historical romance is written under the pen name K.L. Conger.

She comes from a large, tight-knit family and resides in Northern Utah. She loved to read and write at a young age, and her earliest memories consist of her father sitting in the doorway of her room at night, relating stories of Frodo, Gandalf, and the One Ring. Her mother also read to her every afternoon as a child, sometimes for several hours a day.

Today she is an award-winning author. She plans to keep writing until they nail her coffin shut. Or the Second Coming happens. Whichever comes first. ;D

Editorial Reviews

This was amazing!! Even better than the first book. They must be read in order too. You get deeper into the characters lives and backgrounds. There is so much suspense and action in the book you turn the pages to read as fast as you can. I loved the twists in the book. They were great. It was wonderful book that makes me want the third one more than ever. Cannot wait to start.

L. K. Hill does a beautiful job of building a visceral city, backdrop for her compelling Street Games series. Abstreuse City is a place you would never want to visit, the murder capital of the country inhabited by every lowlife imaginable and some you'd never imagine.

A serial killer is stalking prostitutes in the Mire, Abstreuse City's slums, Kyra has to share what she knows with Gabe Nichols to try and prevent more murders. Does she dare get close enough to reveal her true identity?
