The Butcher’s Wife By RJ Laaw

Robin Patterson has been following her husband — and she’s terrified of what she might find.

She had a perfect life ... until he came home with blood on his shirt.

Just a deer, he said ... an unlucky encounter on a dark, barren road. But then, just one week later, it happened again ...

Blood on his shirt, scratch marks on his back, and a whole lot of excuses that just don’t add up.

Or at least that’s what she claims.

Jimmy Hunter isn’t so sure. A private investigator with a dark, disturbing past of his own, he’s perfectly suited to see through lies.

Only this time, it’s not so easy.

The news says there’s a violent killer on the loose and the local river has a bounty of human remains to prove it.
