The Girl Who Would Be Sheriff

Her first month on patrol, she's the newest fixation of a lurking serial killer. At thirty-years-old, Officer Stackhouse is the oldest in her Police academy's graduating class and hellbent on reaching the FBI before the cutoff age. Her first stop--patrol. She responds to a call in Creepy Hollow, where a teenager has run away, a commonplace incident. But there’s nothing commonplace about what Stackhouse finds when she begins digging. A serial killer is at work and has been for years, undetected until now. Even faced with the evidence, Stackhouse’s supervisors are reluctant to believe.

The year is 2007. The iPhone is introduced, No Country For Old Men dominates the Oscars, and America learns the name Rihanna. Andie Stackhouse has been promoted to sergeant and given a squad of rookies to lead. She's inexperienced and they're hot-headed, a volcanic combination. Late on a hot August night, one of her officers stops responding to his radio. Fearing the worst, Stackhouse drives to his last known location, and what she uncovers wakes up the entire police department. A cop killer is loose, and the culprit appears to be one of their own.
