Gottesfeld, Gary Blood Harvest BS

.PEL RESTS > 3WHATISNE

These words of Gustave de Montret, an insane, sadistic baron responsible for a string of hideous ritual murders in Bordeaux, France in 1772, have come back to haunt beautiful Maura McKinney. An assistant D.A. in New York, Maura left behind a tormented life in Califomia’s Napa Valley. Now, Maura is drawn back to the winę country of her childhood...and to a reunion with her dearest friend, Rena Halbrook.

But when Maura disappears, and a migrant worker is found crucified on her property, Rena is horrified:

. everything points to Maura as the killer. And as Rena and reporter Charlie Halleran pursue the bloody trail, they come closer to uncovering Maura’s shocking secret—and to meeting their own grisly fate..

With The Violeł Closet, which Publishers Weekly called “an intricate mystery that grips readers from the opening chapters,” Gary Gottesfeld joined the ranks of such bestselling writers as Thomas Harris. Now he surpasses the high standard of his debut with this blood-chilling novel of psychological suspensę.
