The Other Girl - Spotlight

If you loved titles from St. Martin’s Press like The Breakdown and Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris, It’s Always the Husband by Michelle Campbell, All is Not Forgotten by Wendy Walker, He Said/She Said by Erin Kelly, or love to indulge in long Law and Order: SVU binges, I think that you will love this new thriller by Erica Spindler.

New York Times bestselling author Erica Spindler once again proves that she is a master of suspense. In her chilling new thriller, THE OTHER GIRL (St. Martin’s Press, August 22, 2017), a ritualistic murder of a college professor sends a small town cop back into the trauma she thought she’d left far behind her. As the torments of her past and the horrific murder case become intertwined, the seasoned cop will be forced to give this case everything she’s got, if it’s the last thing she does...

THE OTHER GIRL: Officer Miranda Rader of the Harmony, Louisiana Police Department is known for her honesty, integrity, and steady hand in a crisis—but that wasn’t always so. Miranda comes from the town of Jasper, a place about the size of a good spit on a hot day, and her side of the tracks was the wrong one. She’s worked hard to earn the respect of her coworkers and the community.

When Miranda and her partner are called to investigate the murder of one of the town’s most beloved college professors, they’re unprepared for the brutality of the scene. This murder is unlike any they’ve ever investigated, and just when Miranda thinks she’s seen the worst of it, she finds a piece of evidence that chills her to the core: a faded newspaper clipping about that terrible night fifteen years ago. The night she’d buried, along with her past and the girl she’d been back then. Until now that grave had stayed sealed…except for those times, in the deepest part of the night, when the nightmares came: of a crime no one believed happened and the screams of the girl they believed didn’t exist.

Then another man turns up dead, this one a retired cop. Not just any cop—the one who took her statement that night. Two murders, two very different men, two killings that on the surface had nothing in common—except Miranda. Will she find the killer before it’s too late?
