Descent Into Hell (Paperback) by George Encizo

<p>With a population of just twelve thousand, Creek City is a sleepy rural town in Central Florida. Folks live there because life is simple and peaceful; but once dead bodies start turning up, Creek City is anything but. </p><p>Underprepared and undermanned, the county sheriff's office scrambles to stop the bloodshed, but the killer is always one step ahead. Sheriff J. D. Pickens, usually a steady hand, loses patience as clue after clue results in a dead end and another corpse turns up. When Pickens gets close to the truth, the killer threatens Pickens's own family, making this murder investigation personal. Anger, terror, and tenacious police work clash in a surprise ending that will leave readers breathless.</p><p><i>Descent into Hell</i> is a thriller that will make you lock your doors and bar your windows. Big cities may be filled with crime, but it's easier to get away with murder in rural areas. The silence of the countryside is not always comforting; it can also be a reminder of how alone you are-and how unlikely it is that anyone will hear you scream.</p>
