[Sheriff Blue Hayes 01] • Hometown Homicide · A Heartstopping Thrilling Novel of Psychological Suspense (Sheriff Blue Hayes Book 1)

If you go into the forest at night

The woodsman will get you 

and tie you up tight

He’ll cut your throat

and let the blood spray

Because he is the woodsman

And you are the prey.

\------Ballad of the Woodsman

In the small town of Clever, Texas, the urban legend of the Woodsman has been told around local campfires for at least a century. Even though she’s only been sheriff of her hometown for the last year, Blue Hayes has heard the old folk tale plenty of times. But on the first day of deer hunting season in Blackerby Woods, the myth becomes truth...

A murdered hunter is found hanging upside-down from a tree, dressed and bled out like a shot deer. Homicide is rare in Clever. It’s kind the town where people don't lock their doors, everyone says hello, and nobody fears walking down dark streets.

Then two more hanging, blood-drained corpses are found in the forest only a day later. Blue realizes she can’t catch this killer with two greenhorn deputies and an overly enthusiastic coroner. She feels she has no choice but to ask former FBI profiler, Neal Jenson, for his help to find the murderer.

But when the serial killer begins stalking Blue, she realizes they better snare this psychopath soon… before she becomes the Woodsman’s next victim.
