Ebook short description

Davis Briggs wanted to get away from his life as a homicide detective, and Devine was the perfect place to start over until a child’s death returns him to the grim work of murder investigation. His only leads are Wendy Stoffel, a local shoplifter, and Jobe McKenzie, a drifter who arrived "on vacation" the day of the first murder. Jobe has an alibi, and like Wendy, he may be hunting the killer.

Extended description

Book 1 of the Campaign Trilogy

If there were two killers in your town, which would you trust more?

Davis Briggs moved out of Austin to get away from the the horrors of his old life as a homicide detective, and Devine Texas seemed like the perfect place to make a new life for himself.

But the murder of a young boy destroys his hopes of a quiet life as a deputy of the tiny town’s police force. With every passing day, another child dies, and Davis finds himself unable to locate any clues as to the killer’s identity.

His only leads in the case are Wendy Stoffel, a local girl infamous for her nasty temper and shoplifting habits, and Jobe McKenzie, a drifter who just happens to have appeared in town on a “vacation” the same day that the murders begin. Jobe seemingly has a lock clad alibi for every murder, while Wendy seems intent on hunting down the killer herself.

And somewhere in Devine, the real killer is quickly seeking out their next victim.

Review by: Katarr Kanticles Press on Oct. 24, 2011 :
Fast-paced, rollicking, horrific ride.

Super characterizations, a lot of unexpected twists, and just a totally absorbing read.

I 'know' Zoe via Twitter. Purchased the ebook after reading the sample. You done good, Z. =)

Review by: WendyB on June 28, 2011 :
I didn't start reading this book as soon as I bought it. I've read other books by this author and I had a feeling that it might be a bit hard to put it down once started.
I was wrong, it wasn't just hard to put down,it was almost impossible.
I would classify this as crime/mystery/thriller and I consider it different from the other books by Ms Whitten that I have read because of that classification.
What this book has in common with the other books by this author is the high standard of writing, the well thought out and interesting characters and the gripping story line, to which there is always an added ingredient, or twist if you prefer.
Two of the most intriguing characters in this book are not mentioned in the synopsis above, and I won't tell you more about them as I don't want to give spoilers here.
Unlike some authors Ms Whitten does not leave you hanging in suspense at the end of a book , she neatly ties up the loose ends and leaves you quite content to finally put the book down. Having said that,the characters here are so good that I want to know where they go next, so I'm buying "Trail of Madness" as soon as I finish writing this review. I will,however, try to resist starting it straight away because I have busy day tomorrow and I need to get my sleep tonight.
