ItтАЩs the message that nobody wants to hear...
Perry Hollow, Pennsylvania, is a sleepy little town. That is
until George WinnickтАЩs body is found in a homemade coffin,
his lips sewn shut and his veins pumped with embalming fluid.
Sickening as the discovery is, it becomes even more so when
police chief Kat Campbell finds that the local newspaper
received a death notice for Winnick тАУ before he was killed...
Kat is out of her depth, but sheтАЩs not about to sit by while
someone terrorizes her community. Will her efforts be enough
to stop a twisted killer before another corpse appears?

Todd Ritter was born in rural Pennsylvania to a bank teller mother and a father who dabbled in taxidermy. He grew up among Bambi-esque forests and wide-open fields straight out of the cropduster scene from North by Northwest. Appropriately, his two biggest influences are Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock.
A journalist for more than 15 years, he began his career as a film critic while attending Penn State University. Currently, he works at The Star-Ledger, New Jersey's largest daily newspaper. In the interim, he has interviewed celebrities, covered police standoffs and, yes, even written and edited obituaries.
His first mystery, DEATH NOTICE, was published in October by St. Martin's Minotaur. He is a proud member of Mystery Writers of America and International Thriller Writers. He is currently working on his second Kat Campbell mystery, BAD MOON.
