House of Cuts - June Gillam - Bog

When bodies of dismembered managers turn up as superstore displays, reporter Hillary Broome's articles on the grisly murders catapult her byline from California into the national limelight and threaten to expose a shameful secret that could ruin her career-as well as bring her to the crazed killer's attention. Hillary must connect up with detective Ed Kiffin in a race to catch the insane cutthroat before he tortures and kills a woman who's begun to fill a void in Hillary's heart, left by the mother who abandoned her years ago. HOUSE OF CUTS builds towards a powerful climax, reminiscent of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. --Susan Rushton, Auburn Journal Columnist Would make a great movie! --Zoe Keithley, Story Workshop(R) master teacher
