A Killer Among Us

Book excerpt: When the body of a Sun Devil cheerleader is discovered on the campus of Arizona State University after a home football game, the college community is shocked and saddened. When a second cheerleader’s body is found after the next home game, police are fearful they have a serial killer on their hands. And when two investigators, Tempe Police Lead Detective Boston Blair and her partner Robin Bower, arrive to examine this second murder scene, the crime gets personal. Robin’s daughter Katie is also a member of the ASU cheerleading squad. As the investigation progresses, not only does it appear Katie and her fellow cheerleaders are likely future targets of the killer, her brother emerges as a potential suspect. Playing the killer’s depraved cravings and desire for attention against the Brower family’s Christian values of acceptance and understanding, A Killer Among Us links a thrilling police drama to an exploration of social dynamics and faith.
