Page 30 of The Graveyard Girls (Detective Ellie Reeves #11)

TWENTY-NINE

Somewhere on the AT

The itch to take another girl was driving him crazy. But it was too dangerous to abduct one in town or to return to the graveyard at the moment.

Adrenaline heated his veins. The cops and that ranger were all over the place, swarming like flies.

And there were the visitors and tourists who’d come to see that damned memorial.

He’d been totally against it for a lot of reasons but most of all because it stirred up the gossip about the disappearance of the Higgins girl.

The gravestones had drawn media attention and now the Sylvester girl’s body had been discovered, the town was once again thrust into the limelight.

Not what a man like him needed to stay under the radar.

Laughter caught in his throat. No worries. He had a giant hunting ground along the AT, little towns where no one would even notice a stranger passing through.

He had that kind of face. That kind of demeanor.

That side that no one knew about. Not even the people closest to him.
